Strawberry

Water

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

Needs about 470 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 60 mm it can use in a normal year, and 30 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 11–24 °C on average, and survives 6–28 °C.

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

• Oct 30 °C / 21 °C (outside its best range)
• Nov 29 °C / 19 °C (outside its best range)
• Dec 29 °C / 17 °C
• Jan 31 °C / 17 °C
• Feb 33 °C / 19 °C (outside its best range)
• Mar 36 °C / 22 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Days in March get hotter than it likes. Time sowing so it flowers before then.

Soil

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

• The pH here suits it.
• Many fields here are short of boron, which it needs a lot.
• Most fields here are short of nitrogen.
• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.

Likes pH 6.0–6.8.

Money

Yield: about 23 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.
