    Why, and how to make it work

    Water

    Rain falls about 1 irrigation (5 cm) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

    Needs about 250 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain in its months gives about 40 mm it can use in a normal year (30 mm in a dry one), and the soil holds about 170 mm from the monsoon at sowing.

    Temperature

    Grows best at 15–25 °C on average, and survives 4–32 °C.

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

    • Oct 27 °C / 18 °C
    • Nov 24 °C / 13 °C
