Needs about 440 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 110 mm it can use in a normal year (70 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 200 mm from the monsoon at sowing.

Temperature

Grows best at 20–35 °C on average, and survives 9–40 °C.

Here, in its growing months (day / night):

• Oct 30 °C / 23 °C
• Nov 27 °C / 19 °C
• Dec 25 °C / 15 °C (outside its best range)
• Jan 24 °C / 13 °C (outside its best range)
• Feb 27 °C / 15 °C
• Mar 31 °C / 19 °C

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Soil for Brinjal: 7 out of 10 (okay).

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

• The pH here suits it, though not most crops.
• Many fields here are short of nitrogen, which it needs a lot.
• Many fields here are short of potassium, which it needs a lot.

Likes pH 5.5–6.8.

Money

Yield: about 31 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

On rain alone it gets about 70% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 70% of this yield.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (March–April 2026): about ₹1,850 a quintal across India's mandis.

Prices are usually best in August.

Typical costs are about ₹30,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
