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
- Needs care: Cool in December
- 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 1,340 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 290 mm it can use in a normal year, and 250 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 40 °C / 28 °C
- Jul 36 °C / 27 °C
- Aug 34 °C / 26 °C
- Sep 35 °C / 24 °C
- Oct 34 °C / 19 °C
- Nov 29 °C / 12 °C
- Dec 23 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
- Jan 20 °C / 6 °C (outside its best range)
- Feb 24 °C / 10 °C (outside its best range)
- Mar 30 °C / 15 °C
- Apr 38 °C / 21 °C
- May 42 °C / 26 °C
- Jun 40 °C / 28 °C
Months in orange are outside its best range.
It needs a cold winter to flower: a coldest month averaging 13 °C or less. Here the coldest month averages 13 °C. The district's cooler, higher villages get colder, about 13 °C: enough to grow it there.
Soil
Soil for Pear: 8 out of 10 (good).
Not in the score: nitrogen, copper and boron.
- The pH here suits it.
- Most fields here are short of phosphorus.
- Most fields here are short of organic carbon.
Likes pH 5.5–6.5.
How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 40 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 ₹6,000 a quintal across mandis in your state.
- ₹2,350 2022
- ₹4,580 2024
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 ₹78,000 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.
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.
