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 Divisi would not plant in Tarkwa Nsuaem

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Tarkwa Nsuaem, 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 Tarkwa Nsuaem?
Cashew, Coconut, Grapefruit, Green gram, Jute mallow all rate well in Tarkwa Nsuaem — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Cashew in Tarkwa Nsuaem?
In Tarkwa Nsuaem the window for Cashew runs 10 Feb 2026 to 28 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Tarkwa Nsuaem?
Divisi does. It reads Tarkwa Nsuaem'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 Tarkwa Nsuaem, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
