No figures for your district: its government crop records list no area or yield for this crop. Priced from mandis across your state.
Only with irrigation: rain gives too little of its water to count on
- Doesn't suit: Too dry without irrigation
- Suits: Ideal temperatures
- Suits: Soil 8/10
Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,200 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 410 mm it can use in a normal year, and 270 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 20–35 °C on average, and survives 10–37 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Jun 39 °C / 26 °C
- Jul 35 °C / 26 °C
- Aug 34 °C / 26 °C
- Sep 34 °C / 23 °C
- Oct 32 °C / 17 °C
- Nov 27 °C / 10 °C (outside its best range)

- Jan 18 °C / 5 °C (outside its best range)
- Feb 21 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
- Mar 27 °C / 13 °C (outside its best range)
- Apr 34 °C / 18 °C
- May 39 °C / 23 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.
Soil
Soil for Pear: 8 out of 10 (good).
Not in the score: nitrogen and boron.
- The pH here suits 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.
- Most fields here are short of phosphorus.
Likes pH 5.5–6.5.
How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 34 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).
A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 4 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 (July–September 2026): about ₹5,020 a quintal across mandis in your state.
- ₹4,350 2022
- ₹10,450 2023
- ₹9,630 2024
- ₹5,250 2025
Prices swing a lot from year to year, so income can be well above or below this range.
Prices are usually best in May.
Typical costs are about ₹66,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
How to make it work
-
Short of phosphorus Your soil is likely short of phosphorus.
Add about a quarter more DAP or single super phosphate than the usual dose, at sowing.
About 100% of local fields of this crop get it.
-
Short of potassium Your soil is likely short of potassium.
Add about a quarter more potash (MOP) than the usual dose.
Few local farmers add it to this crop, so it's an easy place to get ahead.
-
Short of manganese Your soil is likely short of manganese.
Spray manganese sulphate, 5 g per litre of water, on the young crop.
Few local farmers add it to this crop, so it's an easy place to get ahead.
What local farmers put on it (share of fields):
- Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) 100%
- Urea 100%
