Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,410 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 470 mm it can use in a normal year, and 340 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 34 °C / 24 °C
- Jul 33 °C / 23 °C
- Aug 32 °C / 23 °C
- Sep 32 °C / 23 °C

How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 61 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 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 ₹6,500 a quintal across India's mandis.
- ₹5,160 2021
- ₹3,940 2022
- ₹5,380 2023
- ₹5,550 2024
- ₹6,850 2025
Prices are usually best in February.
Typical costs are about ₹1.2 lakh 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 nitrogen Your soil is likely short of nitrogen.
Add about a quarter more urea than the usual dose, in two or three splits. A pulse crop in rotation also adds nitrogen.
Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.
-
Short of organic carbon Your soil is likely short of organic carbon.
Add 4 tonnes of compost or farmyard manure per acre before sowing, and plough crop leftovers back in instead of burning them.
Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.
-
Short of iron Your soil is likely short of iron.
Spray ferrous sulphate, 5 g per litre of water, when young leaves turn yellow.
