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 Central Rivercess

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Central Rivercess, 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 Central Rivercess?

When should I plant African eggplant in Central Rivercess?

Is there a farming app that works in Central Rivercess?
Divisi does. It reads Central Rivercess'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 Central Rivercess, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
