Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,420 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 300 mm it can use in a normal year, and 230 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 15–35 °C on average, and survives 5–40 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Jun 39 °C / 28 °C
- Jul 36 °C / 27 °C
- Aug 34 °C / 27 °C
- Sep 34 °C / 25 °C
- Oct 33 °C / 20 °C
- Nov 28 °C / 13 °C
- Dec 23 °C / 9 °C
- Jan 20 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
- Feb 25 °C / 11 °C
- Mar 31 °C / 16 °C
- Apr 37 °C / 22 °C
- May 40 °C / 26 °C
- Jun 39 °C / 28 °C
It needs a cold winter to flower: a coldest month averaging 12 °C or less. Here the coldest month averages 14 °C.
Soil
Likes pH 5.5–7.0. We have no pH figures for this place.
Money
Yield: about 0.9 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).
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.
