What grows in Wajir North

Divisi found no rain-fed growing season at this point — the rain here does not reliably carry a crop through one. These dates are what the calendar would be if it did, and the irrigated list below is the dependable answer.

9% lowland, semi-arid, warm, one season — 37 crops

6% lowland, semi-arid, warm, two seasons — 41 crops

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.
