Crop features of SI.

Factor	Features
Altitude	Reaches ​a ​height ​of ​200 m ​above ​sea ​level ​in ​the ​low ​jungle ​and ​1500 m ​in ​the ​high ​jungle.
Temperature	Adjusts well in a wide range of temperatures (from 10 to 36 °C).
	High temperatures are undesirable, which resulting in the wilting of flowers and fruits, especially those that are still fresh.
Water	Requires constant access to water in order to thrive, and it will grow more effectively if the rainy season is consistent throughout the year (850–1000mm).
	During the dry season, continuous irrigation is vital.
	Drought or cold temperatures for extended periods induce slow and difficult growth.
Light	When exposed to low light intensity, the crop needs additional days to complete its vegetative cycle.
	Flowering is reduced in instances where the shade is particularly severe.
Soil	Able to grow in a variety of soil conditions, including acidic soils and areas with high aluminium concentrations.
	Location selection is vital to allow proper growth and productivity.
	It thrives in clay soil, sandy loam, and acidic soils.
Drainage	In order to rid surplus water both superficially and deeply, this crop requires proper drainage system.
	The texture of the soil is addressed for proper drainage.
