Pear
Holds the land all year
No figures for your district: its government crop records list no area or yield for this crop. Priced from mandis across India.
Only with irrigation: rain gives too little of its water to count on
- Doesn't suit: Too dry without irrigation
- Doesn't suit: Winters are too warm for it to fruit
- Needs care: Soil 7/10
Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,380 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 480 mm it can use in a normal year, and 310 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 37 °C / 27 °C
- Jul 36 °C / 26 °C
- Aug 36 °C / 26 °C
- Sep 36 °C / 26 °C
- Oct 34 °C / 25 °C
- Nov 31 °C / 24 °C
- Dec 30 °C / 23 °C
- Jan 31 °C / 22 °C
- Feb 33 °C / 23 °C
- Mar 36 °C / 25 °C
- Apr 36 °C / 26 °C
- May 37 °C / 27 °C
- Jun 37 °C / 27 °C
It needs a cold winter to flower: a coldest month averaging 13 °C or less. Here the coldest month averages 26 °C.
Soil
Soil for Pear: 7 out of 10 (okay).
Not in the score: iron.
- The pH here suits it.
- Many fields here are short of zinc, which it needs a lot.
- Many fields here are short of boron, which it needs a lot.
- Most fields here are short of nitrogen.
Likes pH 5.5–6.5.
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 phosphorus Your soil is likely short of phosphorus.
Add about a quarter more DAP or single super phosphate than the usual dose, at sowing.
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 sulphur Your soil is likely short of sulphur.
Use single super phosphate instead of DAP, or add about 100 kg of gypsum per acre before sowing.
Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.
-
Short of zinc Your soil is likely short of zinc.
Mix 10 kg of zinc sulphate per acre into the soil before sowing. One dose lasts two or three seasons.
Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.
