Peach

Water

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

Needs about 1,230 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 90 mm it can use in a normal year, and 60 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

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

Here, in its growing months (day / night):

• Jun 41 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Jul 37 °C / 28 °C
• Aug 36 °C / 27 °C
• Sep 34 °C / 24 °C
• Oct 33 °C / 18 °C
• Nov 28 °C / 11 °C (outside its best range)
• Dec 23 °C / 7 °C (outside its best range)

• Feb 23 °C / 9 °C (outside its best range)
• Mar 28 °C / 14 °C
• Apr 36 °C / 19 °C
• May 41 °C / 25 °C
• Jun 41 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Days in June get hotter than it likes. Young plants need shade and water then.

Soil

Soil for Peach: 7 out of 10 (okay).

Not in the score: nitrogen.

• The pH here suits it.
• Salt in the soil here can harm it.
• Many fields here are short of potassium, which it needs a lot.
• Many fields here are short of zinc, which it needs a lot.
• Many fields here are short of boron, which it needs a lot.

Likes pH 5.5–6.3.

Money

Yield: about 27 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

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 ₹4,000 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices are usually best in August.

Typical costs are about ₹60,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
