Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 4 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.
Needs about 1,200 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 1,040 mm it can use in a normal year, and 830 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 24–30 °C on average, and survives 8–48 °C.

How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 34 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.
On rain alone it gets about 87% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 87% of this yield.
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 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.
About 10% of local fields of this crop get it.
What local farmers put on it (share of fields):
- Urea 96%
- NPK Mixture 24%
- Zinc Sulphate Heptahydrate / Monohydrate 10%
