Radish

Water

Rain falls about 2 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Temperature

Grows best at 12–26 °C on average, and survives 10–37 °C.

Here, in its growing months (day / night):

• Jun 23 °C / 12 °C
• Jul 22 °C / 13 °C

Soil

Soil for Radish: 9 out of 10 (good).

Not in the score: sulphur and boron.

• The pH here suits it.
• Many fields here are short of nitrogen, which it needs a lot.

Likes pH 6.0–7.0.

Money

Yield: about 77 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

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 (August–September 2026): about ₹2,200 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices are usually best in August.

Typical costs are about ₹83,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
