Tuberose

Water

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

Needs about 1,040 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 550 mm it can use in a normal year, and 450 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 20–30 °C on average, and survives 12–33 °C.

Money

Yield: about 53 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.
