- Suits: Ideal temperatures
- Suits: Soil 8/10
Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,310 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 500 mm it can use in a normal year, and 350 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 24–30 °C on average, and survives 8–48 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Jun 39 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)

- Sep 33 °C / 26 °C
- Oct 33 °C / 22 °C
- Nov 30 °C / 15 °C (outside its best range)
- Dec 25 °C / 10 °C (outside its best range)
- Jan 22 °C / 9 °C (outside its best range)
- Feb 27 °C / 13 °C (outside its best range)

How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 73 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).
A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 4 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.
Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.
Mandi price at last season's harvest (May–June 2026): about ₹3,175 a quintal across mandis in your state.
Prices are usually best in April.
Typical costs are about ₹16,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
How to make it work
-
Short of nitrogen Your soil is likely short of nitrogen.
Add about a quarter more urea than the usual dose, in two or three splits. A pulse crop in rotation also adds nitrogen.
About 96% of local fields of this crop get it.
-
Short of phosphorus Your soil is likely short of phosphorus.
Add about a quarter more DAP or single super phosphate than the usual dose, at sowing.
Few local farmers add it to this crop, so it's an easy place to get ahead.
-
Short of organic carbon Your soil is likely short of organic carbon.
Add 4 tonnes of compost or farmyard manure per acre before sowing, and plough crop leftovers back in instead of burning them.
Few local farmers add it to this crop, so it's an easy place to get ahead.
-
Short of sulphur Your soil is likely short of sulphur.
Use single super phosphate instead of DAP, or add about 100 kg of gypsum per acre before sowing.
Few local farmers add it to this crop, so it's an easy place to get ahead.
