Soil

Soil for Custard Apple: 8 out of 10 (good).

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

Likes pH 7.0–8.0.

Money

Yield: about 16 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 3 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

On rain alone it gets about 83% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 83% of this yield.

Mandi price at this season's harvest so far (September–November 2026): about ₹4,500 a quintal across India's mandis.

This week: about ₹4,900 a quintal, the middle of 3 mandis in your state (latest 13 Nov). At that price an acre would leave about ₹37,000 a year after typical costs.

Prices are usually best in April.

Typical costs are about ₹29,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
