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 1,310 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 370 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 31 °C / 22 °C (outside its best range)
- Jul 30 °C / 21 °C (outside its best range)
- Aug 29 °C / 21 °C (outside its best range)
- Sep 29 °C / 21 °C (outside its best range)
- Oct 29 °C / 20 °C (outside its best range)
- Nov 28 °C / 18 °C
- Dec 27 °C / 16 °C
- Jan 29 °C / 16 °C
- Feb 31 °C / 17 °C (outside its best range)
- Mar 34 °C / 20 °C (outside its best range)
- Apr 36 °C / 22 °C (outside its best range)
- May 35 °C / 23 °C (outside its best range)
- Jun 31 °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 nitrogen.
- Most fields here are short of zinc.
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 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 100% 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.
What local farmers put on it (share of fields):
- Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) 100%
- Urea 100%
