Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain is enough, even in a dry year.
Needs about 1,050 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 1,660 mm it can use in a normal year, and 1,200 mm in a dry year.
Heavy rain here can waterlog it. Grow it on raised beds or land that drains well.
Temperature
Grows best at 24–30 °C on average, and survives 8–48 °C.

- Most fields here are short of nitrogen.
Likes pH 5.5–7.5.
How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 18 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.
Mandi price at last season's harvest (May–June 2026): about ₹4,125 a quintal across India's mandis.
- ₹5,260 2021
- ₹5,700 2022
- ₹5,610 2023
- ₹6,170 2024
- ₹5,860 2025
Prices are usually best in October.
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 46% of local fields of this crop get it.
-
Short of potassium Your soil is likely short of potassium.
Add about a quarter more potash (MOP) than the usual dose.
Few local farmers add it to this crop, so it's an easy place to get ahead.
