What grows in Karmuz
Alexandria, Egypt
The season in Karmuz
| Rain in a typical year | About 174 mm |
|---|---|
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 174 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| What that supports | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it, warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth |
| Ground this covers | This area is smaller than the climate grid can resolve, so it reads as one kind of ground. |

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Karmuz, 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.
Or check your field firstThis calendar moves
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
Is there a farming app that works in Karmuz?
Divisi does. It reads Karmuz'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 Karmuz, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
