Sannhemp

Water

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

Needs about 370 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 60 mm it can use in a normal year (30 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 0 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):

• Oct 29 °C / 20 °C
• Nov 28 °C / 18 °C
• Dec 27 °C / 16 °C
• Jan 29 °C / 16 °C
• Feb 31 °C / 17 °C

Soil

Soil for Sannhemp: 9 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 zinc.

Likes pH 6.0–7.0.

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.
