Only with irrigation: rain gives too little of its water to count on
- Doesn't suit: Too dry without irrigation
- Needs care: Frost risk in December
- Not known: No soil data
Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,170 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 610 mm it can use in a normal year, and 530 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 24–37 °C on average, and survives 15–41 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Jun 25 °C / 18 °C (outside its best range)

Nights in December can bring frost. When frost is forecast, water the field lightly in the evening.

Money
Yield: about 210 quintals an acre here in this season (district figures).
Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.
