Why, and how to make it work

Water

Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.

Needs about 1,420 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 650 mm it can use in a normal year, and 470 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 37 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
  • Jul 32 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
  • Aug 31 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
  • Sep 32 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
  • Oct 35 °C / 22 °C (outside its best range)
  • Nov 34 °C / 17 °C (outside its best range)
  • Dec 31 °C / 13 °C
  • Jan 29 °C / 12 °C
  • Feb 33 °C / 15 °C
  • Mar 36 °C / 19 °C (outside its best range)
  • Apr 39 °C / 24 °C (outside its best range)
  • May 40 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
  • Jun 37 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Days in May get hotter than it likes. Young plants need shade and water then.

Soil

Soil for Rose: 8 out of 10 (good).

  • The pH here suits it.
  • Most fields here are short of nitrogen.
  • Most fields here are short of boron.

Likes pH 6.0–7.0.

How the soil score works

Money

Yield: about 37 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

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.

No mandi or support price for this crop yet.

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.

  • Short of boron Your soil is likely short of boron.

    Mix 4 kg of borax per acre into the soil before sowing.

    Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.
