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

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Sigor?

Pineapple, Jute mallow, Avocado, Lemon, Guava all rate well in Sigor — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Pineapple in Sigor?

In Sigor the window for Pineapple runs 3 Mar 2027 to 23 Mar 2027.

Is there a farming app that works in Sigor?

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