No figures for your district: its government crop records list no area or yield for this crop.
Only with irrigation: rain gives too little of its water to count on

- Not known: No soil data
Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 7 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.
Needs about 790 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 490 mm it can use in a normal year, and 440 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 20–30 °C on average, and survives 18–34 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):

Nights in December can bring frost. When frost is forecast, water the field lightly in the evening.
Soil
Likes pH 6.0–8.0. We have no pH figures for this place.
Money
Yield: about 16 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).
A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 2 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.
