Tuberose

Water

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

Needs about 1,550 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 820 mm it can use in a normal year, and 740 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

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

• Jun 36 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)

Soil

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

• Soil here is often too acidic for it.

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.
