Tuberose

Water

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

Needs about 1,590 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 800 mm it can use in a normal year, and 660 mm in a dry year.

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

Money

Yield: about 34 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.
