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 1,330 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 370 mm it can use in a normal year, and 220 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 31 °C / 22 °C (outside its best range)
- Jul 29 °C / 22 °C (outside its best range)
- Aug 29 °C / 22 °C (outside its best range)
- Sep 30 °C / 22 °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 sulphur.
- Most fields here are short of zinc.
- Most fields here are short of boron.
Likes pH 6.0–7.0.
How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 47 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 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 83% 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.
About 83% of local fields of this crop get it.
-
Short of boron Your soil is likely short of boron.
Mix 4 kg of borax per acre into the soil before sowing.
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):
- Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) 100%
- Urea 100%
- Zinc Sulphate Heptahydrate / Monohydrate 83%
