Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 980 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 370 mm it can use in a normal year, and 340 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):
- Jun 39 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
- Jul 34 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
- Aug 33 °C / 26 °C
- Sep 33 °C / 24 °C
- Oct 32 °C / 18 °C
- Nov 27 °C / 12 °C (outside its best range)
- Dec 22 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
- Jan 19 °C / 7 °C (outside its best range)
- Feb 23 °C / 11 °C (outside its best range)
- Mar 29 °C / 15 °C
- Apr 35 °C / 20 °C
- May 39 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
- Jun 39 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
Days in May get hotter than it likes. Young plants need shade and water then.
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.
