Pecan Nut
Holds the land all year
No figures for your district: its government crop records list no area or yield for this crop.
Only with irrigation: rain gives too little of its water to count on
- Needs care: Risky: 8 irrigations short
- Doesn't suit: Winters are too warm for it to fruit
- Not known: No soil data
Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 8 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.
Needs about 1,180 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 810 mm it can use in a normal year, and 670 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 28 °C / 21 °C
- Jul 28 °C / 21 °C
- Aug 28 °C / 21 °C
- Sep 28 °C / 20 °C
- Oct 27 °C / 18 °C
- Nov 24 °C / 13 °C
- Dec 21 °C / 9 °C
- Jan 21 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
- Feb 23 °C / 10 °C
- Mar 27 °C / 13 °C
- Apr 28 °C / 16 °C
- May 28 °C / 19 °C
- Jun 28 °C / 21 °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.
