Walnut

Water

Rain falls about 7 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Soil

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

• The pH here suits it.
• Many fields here are short of boron, which it needs a lot.

Likes pH 5.5–6.5.

Money

Yield: about 14 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 6 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.
