Water

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

Needs about 1,250 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 280 mm it can use in a normal year, and 190 mm in a dry year.

Grows best at 20–33 °C on average, and survives 7–35 °C.

Money

Yield: about 47 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 3 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.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (May–June 2026): about ₹5,000 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices are usually best in July.

Typical costs are about ₹1.0 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
