What grows in Gashoho
Muyinga, Burundi
The 2026/27 season in Gashoho
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | September 2026 to June 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 914 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning wet — January, February, October, November and December look heavier than usual. Make sure water can drain off the field; a wet year does more damage through waterlogging and disease than through the rain itself. |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.2 °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 a long crop, or two in a year, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season |
| Ground this covers | 3 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 76% of this area. |
| 76% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 287 growing days · about 920 mm · September to June |
|---|---|
| 18% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 282 growing days · about 860 mm · September to June |
| 6% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 284 growing days · about 870 mm · September to June |

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 Gashoho 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 Gashoho, 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.

Planting windows shift with the forecast. Leave your email and we'll send what changed, and a note when planting time nears — a couple of emails a month at most.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Gashoho?
Avocado, Guava, Lemon, Lime, Mango all rate well in Gashoho — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Avocado in Gashoho?
In Gashoho the window for Avocado runs 8 Sep 2026 to 23 Feb 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Gashoho?
Divisi does. It reads Gashoho'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 Gashoho, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
