- 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 1,220 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 640 mm it can use in a normal year, and 560 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 38 °C / 26 °C
- Jul 34 °C / 26 °C
- Aug 33 °C / 25 °C
- Sep 32 °C / 24 °C
- Oct 31 °C / 18 °C
- Nov 27 °C / 12 °C (outside its best range)

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.
- Most fields here are short of organic carbon.
- Most fields here are short of manganese.
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 potassium Your soil is likely short of potassium.
Add about a quarter more potash (MOP) than the usual dose.
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 manganese Your soil is likely short of manganese.
Spray manganese sulphate, 5 g per litre of water, on the young crop.
