Tuberose

Water

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

Needs about 1,770 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 530 mm it can use in a normal year, and 460 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)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

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

Money

Yield: about 26 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.
