Sannhemp

Water

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

Needs about 360 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 0 mm it can use in a normal year (0 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 100 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 35 °C / 19 °C
• Nov 31 °C / 14 °C
• Dec 26 °C / 10 °C (outside its best range)
• Jan 24 °C / 9 °C (outside its best range)
• Feb 28 °C / 12 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

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

Not in the score: nitrogen and boron.

• Soil here is often more alkaline than it likes.
• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.

Likes pH 6.0–7.0.

Money

Yield: about 4.0 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

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