Sannhemp

Water

Rain falls about 3 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Needs about 360 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 100 mm it can use in a normal year (60 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 150 mm from the monsoon at sowing.

Temperature

Grows best at 20–30 °C on average, and survives 4–40 °C.

Money

Yield: about 12 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (your district's own figure looked wrong).

Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.
