Tuberose

Water

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

Needs about 1,520 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 800 mm it can use in a normal year, and 700 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

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

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

• Jun 37 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
• Jul 30 °C / 24 °C
• Aug 30 °C / 24 °C
• Sep 30 °C / 23 °C
• Oct 30 °C / 19 °C
• Nov 27 °C / 14 °C

• May 40 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
• Jun 37 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Days in May get hotter than it likes. Young plants need shade and water then.

Soil

Soil for Tuberose: 7 out of 10 (okay).

• Soil here is often too acidic for it.
• Most fields here are short of nitrogen.

Likes pH 6.5–7.5.

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.
