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 260 mm it can use in a normal year, and 220 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 40 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)
• Jul 36 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Aug 34 °C / 26 °C
• Sep 35 °C / 25 °C

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

Soil

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

Not in the score: nitrogen and boron.

• The pH here suits it.
• Salt in the soil here can harm it.
• Most fields here are short of organic carbon.

Likes pH 6.5–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 45 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.
