Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,200 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 660 mm it can use in a normal year, and 530 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 20–24 °C on average, and survives 11–35 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Jun 35 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)

How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 70 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.

How to make it work
-
Short of nitrogen Your soil is likely short of nitrogen.
Add about a quarter more urea than the usual dose, in two or three splits. A pulse crop in rotation also adds nitrogen.
Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.
