Pecan Nut

Water

Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.

Soil

Soil for Pecan Nut: 9 out of 10 (good).

Not in the score: sulphur and boron.

• The pH here suits it.
• Most fields here are short of nitrogen.

Likes pH 5.5–7.0.

Money

Yield: about 0.8 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 7 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.
