Tuberose

Water

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

Needs about 1,660 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 470 mm it can use in a normal year, and 390 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 38 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Jul 32 °C / 25 °C
• Aug 31 °C / 25 °C
• Sep 32 °C / 24 °C
• Oct 35 °C / 21 °C
• Nov 32 °C / 16 °C

• May 41 °C / 27 °C (outside its best range)
• Jun 38 °C / 27 °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.

Soil

Soil for Tuberose: 9 out of 10 (good).

Not in the score: nitrogen and boron.

• The pH here suits it.

Likes pH 6.5–7.5.

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.
