Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 10 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 51 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (no recent yield figures 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 ₹1,550 a quintal across mandis in your state.
Prices are usually best in August.
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 55% of local fields of this crop get it.
What local farmers put on it (share of fields):
- Muriate of Potash (MOP) 70%
- NPK Mixture 55%
- Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) 16%
- Urea 16%
