Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 610 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 340 mm it can use in a normal year, and 260 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 21–30 °C on average, and survives 10–36 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Jun 40 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)
- Jul 36 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
- Aug 34 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
- Sep 34 °C / 25 °C
- Oct 33 °C / 20 °C
- Nov 28 °C / 13 °C (outside its best range)
- Dec 23 °C / 9 °C (outside its best range)

- Apr 37 °C / 22 °C
- May 40 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.
Soil
Likes pH 4.5–6.5. We have no pH figures for this place.
Money
Yield: about 66 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).
A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 2 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 ₹4,500 a quintal across India's mandis.
- ₹2,990 2021
- ₹3,240 2022
- ₹3,590 2023
- ₹4,250 2024
- ₹4,050 2025
Prices are usually best in October.
Typical costs are about ₹1.4 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
