Consider the following description:
This crop grows well in well-drained, fertile, sandy loam to silty loam soils, with alluvial soils also being suitable. The ideal soil pH ranges between 5.5 and 7.5, and good drainage is essential as waterlogging can be harmful. It prefers warm weather with temperatures ranging from 21°C to 32°C and requires 50–100 cm of well-distributed rainfall. In India, it is mainly cultivated during the Kharif season (June–September), though it can also be sown in other seasons depending on the region and variety.
