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 your state.
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 1,400 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 270 mm it can use in a normal year, and 170 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 35 °C / 27 °C
- Aug 33 °C / 25 °C
- Sep 34 °C / 24 °C
- Oct 35 °C / 19 °C
- Nov 31 °C / 12 °C
- Dec 26 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
- Jan 24 °C / 7 °C (outside its best range)
- Feb 28 °C / 10 °C (outside its best range)
- Mar 33 °C / 16 °C
- Apr 38 °C / 22 °C
- May 41 °C / 27 °C
- Jun 40 °C / 28 °C
It needs a cold winter to flower: a coldest month averaging 13 °C or less. Here the coldest month averages 15 °C.
Soil
Soil for Pear: 7 out of 10 (okay).
Not in the score: nitrogen and boron.
- Soil here is often more alkaline than it likes.
- Many fields here are short of zinc, which it needs a lot.
- Most fields here are short of organic carbon.
- Most fields here are short of iron.
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 ₹5,000 a quintal across mandis in your state.
Prices are usually best in January.
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 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 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.
-
Short of iron Your soil is likely short of iron.
Spray ferrous sulphate, 5 g per litre of water, when young leaves turn yellow.
