How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 42 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 ₹2,700 a quintal across mandis in your state.
Prices are usually best in February.
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 63% of local fields of this crop get it.
-
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.
-
Short of boron Your soil is likely short of boron.
Mix 4 kg of borax per acre into the soil before sowing.
Few local farmers add it to this crop, so it's an easy place to get ahead.
What local farmers put on it (share of fields):
- Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) 63%
- Urea 16%
- Triple Super Phosphate (TSP) 1%
- Calcium Ammonium Nitrate 0%
