Why, and how to make it work

Water

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

Needs about 1,370 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 350 mm it can use in a normal year, and 200 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 33 °C / 24 °C (outside its best range)
  • Jul 31 °C / 23 °C (outside its best range)
  • Aug 31 °C / 23 °C (outside its best range)
  • Sep 31 °C / 22 °C (outside its best range)
  • Oct 30 °C / 21 °C (outside its best range)
  • Nov 29 °C / 19 °C (outside its best range)
  • Dec 29 °C / 17 °C
  • Jan 30 °C / 17 °C
  • Feb 33 °C / 19 °C (outside its best range)
  • Mar 36 °C / 22 °C (outside its best range)
  • Apr 37 °C / 24 °C (outside its best range)
  • May 37 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
  • Jun 33 °C / 24 °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 organic carbon.

Likes pH 6.0–7.0.

How the soil score works

Money

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.

  • Short of organic carbon Your soil is likely short of organic carbon.

    Add 4 tonnes of compost or farmyard manure per acre before sowing, and plough crop leftovers back in instead of burning them.

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