What grows in Karo-Peli
Soum, Burkina Faso
The 2027 season in Karo-Peli
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | June 2027 to September 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 371 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 371 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.9 °C over the growing months. Heat makes the same rain do less, so a dry spell bites sooner: do not plant late, and shade or mulch what you can. |
| What that supports | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season |
| Ground this covers | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 82% of this area. |
| 82% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 81 growing days · about 400 mm · June to September |
|---|---|
| 18% | too dry for rain-fed cropping without irrigation; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season no rain-fed season · about 340 mm · July to September |

Rain-fed. These dates are worked out from each place's own rainfall, for a field watered by the season — with irrigation a window can open earlier, close later, or come round more than once a year. Check your own field under What grows, or get the Divisi app for a calendar dated to your farm.
What grows in Karo-Peli with irrigation
These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Karo-Peli, and the map colours which kind of ground each part of it is. Your own soil, slope and rainfall will shift the dates — the Divisi app works them out for your field, and dates each job that follows.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Karo-Peli?
Cowpea, Green gram, Jute mallow, Okra, Pearl millet all rate well in Karo-Peli — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Cowpea in Karo-Peli?
In Karo-Peli the window for Cowpea runs 24 Jun 2027 to 4 Jul 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Karo-Peli?
Divisi does. It reads Karo-Peli's own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average, so the planting dates and crop shortlist on this page are the same ones the app works out for a field here — then dates each job for that field, and keeps working with no signal.
Is this exact for my own field?
No — these are readings taken across Karo-Peli, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
