Rose
Holds the land all year
No figures for your district: its government crop records list no area or yield for this crop.
Only with irrigation: rain gives too little of its water to count on
- Doesn't suit: Too dry without irrigation
- Needs care: Warm in June
- Suits: Soil 8/10
Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,430 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 430 mm it can use in a normal year, and 250 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 34 °C / 23 °C (outside its best range)
- Jul 30 °C / 22 °C (outside its best range)
- Aug 29 °C / 22 °C (outside its best range)
- Sep 30 °C / 21 °C (outside its best range)
- Oct 32 °C / 19 °C (outside its best range)
- Nov 31 °C / 16 °C
- Dec 30 °C / 13 °C
- Jan 30 °C / 12 °C
- Feb 33 °C / 14 °C
- Mar 36 °C / 18 °C (outside its best range)
- Apr 39 °C / 23 °C (outside its best range)
- May 39 °C / 24 °C (outside its best range)
- Jun 34 °C / 23 °C (outside its best range)
Months in orange are outside its best range.
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 sulphur.
- Most fields here are short of zinc.
Likes pH 6.0–7.0.
How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 93 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.

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.
About 33% of local fields of this crop get it.
-
Short of sulphur Your soil is likely short of sulphur.
Use single super phosphate instead of DAP, or add about 100 kg of gypsum per acre before sowing.
About 33% of local fields of this crop get it.
-
Short of zinc Your soil is likely short of zinc.
Mix 10 kg of zinc sulphate per acre into the soil before sowing. One dose lasts two or three seasons.
Few local farmers add it to this crop, so it's an easy place to get ahead.
-
Short of iron Your soil is likely short of iron.
Spray ferrous sulphate, 5 g per litre of water, when young leaves turn yellow.
Few local farmers add it to this crop, so it's an easy place to get ahead.
What local farmers put on it (share of fields):
- NPK Mixture 33%
- Single Super Phosphate (SSP) 33%
- Urea 33%
