Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.
Needs about 1,270 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 330 mm it can use in a normal year, and 220 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 25–30 °C on average, and survives 10–35 °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 (outside its best range)

Soil
Likes pH 5.5–7.5. We have no pH figures for this place.
Money
Yield: about 15 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.
