Passion Fruit

Water

Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.

Needs about 1,080 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 460 mm it can use in a normal year, and 400 mm in a dry year.

Grows best at 20–30 °C on average, and survives 18–34 °C.

Soil

Soil for Passion Fruit: 7 out of 10 (okay).

• The pH here suits it.
• Many fields here are short of boron, which it needs a lot.
• Most fields here are short of nitrogen.
• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.

Likes pH 6.0–8.0.

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.
