Why, and how to make it work Hide details
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 610 mm it can use in a normal year, and 570 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 21–30 °C on average, and survives 10–33 °C.

Soil
Likes pH 5.5–7.0. We have no pH figures for this place.
Money
Yield: about 1.4 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).
A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 3 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.
Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.
