when to plant

The seasons have changed.
Your planting date should move with them.

Divisi reads your own field's growing period for the weeks you can plant in, tells you when the week ahead carries real planting rain, and shows the yield to expect if you go in then.

Divisi's verdict for one field: grows well in Home field, rated for a normal season, with what to correct

A Divisi crop card for hot pepper: planted 27 June, 40 days in, 15 tonnes per hectare projected now

How it works: Divisi projects your crop's cycle onto the growing period your actual field has, using thirty years of rainfall and temperature records.

Two Divisi crop picks for one field, each with a photo, a grows-well-here verdict and the yield to expect

your field, not your district

A window worked out for this plot

A national planting date is an average of fields nothing like each other. Divisi starts from the growing period your own location actually has — when moisture arrives, how long it lasts, when it closes — and gives you a window your crop can finish inside. Two farms in one district can get different weeks.

the season you are in

Planted on rain, not on a date in a diary

A window tells you the fortnight. The rain tells you the morning. Divisi watches the forecast over your field and calls the planting rain when it comes — so you go in on moisture that carries the seed through, rather than on a false start you end up planting over.

El Niño and the years that break the pattern

The yield to expect, and what a dry year does to it

Divisi gives you the yield to expect for this crop on this field in a normal year, then the same plan through a dry year and a wet one, so you see the range before you commit. Nobody can forecast a season. In an uncertain year, plant the crop whose bad year sits closest to its good one.

From a window to a day in your hand

Pin the field

Drop a pin on the plot once. Divisi reads its climate, soil and terrain from that point — no soil test, no paperwork.

Pick the crop

Choose what you are growing, or let Divisi rank what suits the field. The window follows the crop's cycle length, not a generic season.

Plant on the call

The window lands in your calendar and the reminder arrives when the rain does — on the phone, offline, wherever the field is.

it doesn't work alone

One season, seen from every side

Divisi is one thing, not a course. Here is what this connects to — and why that matters more than any single feature.

Crop guides

The window tells you the fortnight; the plan tells you every job from that day to harvest.

Weather alerts

The forecast is what turns a planting window into a planting morning.

How it works

Where the growing period, the cycle length and the yield range come from.

What you can count on

The window comes from two decades of weather at your location; the go-ahead comes from the seven days in front of you. Both can be checked. It is a narrower promise than a three-month outlook, and the one a season can actually be planned on.

Questions worth asking

It depends on the field, not the country. Divisi reads thirty years of climate record for the spot you pinned: when moisture reliably arrives, how long the growing period lasts, and when it closes. It then projects your crop's cycle length onto that period to find the weeks in which planting still lets the crop mature before the season shuts. For crops that flower by the length of the day, it also checks that your latitude lets them flower at the right time of year. The result is a window for your own plot, not one date for a whole country.

Often, yes, and Divisi shows you the difference rather than leaving it to hope. You get the yield to expect for each crop on your field in a normal year alongside what the same plan returns if the season comes in dry, so the choices that hold up and the ones that collapse are visible before you buy seed. In a year that comes in dry, a drought-tolerant crop or a shorter-cycle variety that finishes before the rains cut out usually keeps more of the harvest.

The window is where to look; the rain is when to go. Through the window Divisi reads the seven-day forecast over your field and tells you when a genuine planting rain is coming, rather than leaving you with a fixed date. If the rains are late, the window waits with you. If a false start arrives — one wet morning with a dry fortnight behind it — that is exactly the pattern the seven-day scan is there to catch.

Yes. Divisi finds every stretch of your location's year wet enough to grow in rather than assuming there is only one, so an area with long rains and short rains gets both windows, each with the crops that can finish inside it. Where a place genuinely has year-round growing conditions, it says so instead of inventing a season.

Yes. Your window, your crop calendar and the task reminders are stored on the phone once your farm is set up, so they are there in the field with no network. The forecast that calls the planting rain needs a connection to refresh, but it refreshes whenever you have one and the last one it fetched stays readable offline.
