Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain is enough, even in a dry year.
Needs about 230 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 80 mm it can use in a normal year (30 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 200 mm from the monsoon at sowing.
Temperature
Grows best at 16–25 °C on average, and survives 7–32 °C.
Here, in its growing months (day / night):
- Oct 32 °C / 23 °C (outside its best range)

How to make it work
-
Short of organic carbon Your soil is likely short of organic carbon.
Add 4 tonnes of compost or farmyard manure per acre before sowing, and plough crop leftovers back in instead of burning them.
Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.
