Sannhemp

Water

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

Needs about 460 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 170 mm it can use in a normal year, and 80 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

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

Here, in its growing months (day / night):

• Jul 34 °C / 26 °C
• Aug 35 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
• Sep 35 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
• Oct 34 °C / 25 °C
• Nov 31 °C / 24 °C

Soil

Soil for Sannhemp: 8 out of 10 (good).

• The pH here suits it.
• Low nitrogen matters less: it makes its own.
• Many fields here are short of boron, which it needs a lot.
• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.
• Most fields here are short of sulphur.

Likes pH 6.0–7.0.

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.
