Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,130 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 570 mm it can use in a normal year, and 490 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 18–33 °C on average, and survives 6–36 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Jun 39 °C / 27 °C
- Jul 34 °C / 26 °C
- Aug 33 °C / 25 °C
- Sep 33 °C / 24 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.
Soil
No soil score here: the soil tests don't say enough about nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium.
Likes pH 5.5–6.1.
Money
Yield: about 16 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).
A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 3 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 (June–July 2026): about ₹9,625 a quintal at mandis in your district.
Prices are usually best in July.
Typical costs are about ₹40,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
