Still sowing time: sow by the end of November.
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
- Needs care: Risky: 4 irrigations short
- Doesn't suit: Too cold here in this season
- Not known: No soil data
Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 4 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.
Needs about 470 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 130 mm it can use in a normal year (90 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 180 mm from the monsoon at sowing.
Temperature
Grows best at 20–30 °C on average, and survives 4–40 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Nov 21 °C / 10 °C (outside its best range)
- Dec 18 °C / 6 °C (outside its best range)
- Jan 17 °C / 5 °C (outside its best range)
- Feb 20 °C / 7 °C (outside its best range)
- Mar 23 °C / 10 °C (outside its best range)
- Apr 24 °C / 12 °C (outside its best range)
- May 25 °C / 15 °C (outside its best range)
Soil
Likes pH 6.0–7.0. We have no pH figures for this place.
Money
Yield: about 12 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).
Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.
