Soil

Soil for Passion Fruit: 9 out of 10 (good).

Not in the score: nitrogen.

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

Likes pH 6.0–8.0.

Money

Yield: about 19 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 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.
