Rain falls about 6 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.
Needs about 970 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 700 mm it can use in a normal year, and 630 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 20–30 °C on average, and survives 15–36 °C.

Money
Yield: about 12 quintals of paddy an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).
On rain alone it gets about 72% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 72% of this yield.
