|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | March 2026 to December 2026 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,787 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 1,787 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.1 °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. |

| Ground this covers | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 59% of this area. |

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 Kissidougou with irrigation
These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.
What Divisi would not plant in Kissidougou
Every crop in the catalogue is scored against this district, not only the ones that work — so the list above is a decision rather than a shortlist. These are the rest, with what ruled each one out.
- Beetroot Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
- Passion fruit Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
- Avocado Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
- Cabbage Unsuitable — Temperature
- Chickpea Unsuitable — Temperature
- Coconut Unsuitable
- Enset Unsuitable — Temperature
- Garlic Unsuitable — Temperature
- Tea Unsuitable — Temperature
- Teff Unsuitable — Temperature
Divisi scored 74 crops against this district's own ground; 10 came back without a sowing date.
Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Kissidougou, 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 Kissidougou?
African nightshade, Cashew, Common bean, Cowpea, Cucumber all rate well in Kissidougou — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant African nightshade in Kissidougou?
In Kissidougou the window for African nightshade runs 14 Apr 2026 to 29 Sep 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Kissidougou?
Divisi does. It reads Kissidougou'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 Kissidougou, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
