Needs about 970 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 1,460 mm it can use in a normal year, and 1,000 mm in a dry year.

Heavy rain here can waterlog it. Grow it on raised beds or land that drains well.

Not in the score: salt, sulphur, zinc and 4 more.

• The pH here suits it, though not most crops.

• Most fields here are short of nitrogen.

Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 23 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 2 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (December 2025–February 2026): about ₹3,000 a quintal across India's mandis.

This week: about ₹4,000 a quintal, the middle of 130 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov). At that price an acre would leave about ₹60,000 a year after typical costs.

Prices are usually best in June.

Typical costs are about ₹33,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
