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 Liban 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 Liban, 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 Liban?

Cucumber, Jute mallow, Watermelon, African nightshade, Bambara groundnut all rate well in Liban — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Cucumber in Liban?

In Liban the window for Cucumber runs 30 Mar 2027 to 19 Apr 2027.

Is there a farming app that works in Liban?

Divisi does. It reads Liban'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 Liban, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
