What grows in Kobeni
Hodh El Gharbi, Mauritanie
The 2027 season in Kobeni
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | July 2027 to September 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 327 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 327 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.8 °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. |
| What that supports | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season |
| Ground this covers | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 8% of this area. |
| 91% | too dry for rain-fed cropping without irrigation; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season no rain-fed season · about 270 mm · July to September |
|---|---|
| 8% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 76 growing days · about 340 mm · July to September |

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 Kobeni with irrigation
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
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Kobeni, 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.

Planting windows shift with the forecast. Leave your email and we'll send what changed, and a note when planting time nears — a couple of emails a month at most.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Kobeni?
Green gram, Jute mallow, Pearl millet, Common bean, Cowpea all rate well in Kobeni — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Green gram in Kobeni?
In Kobeni the window for Green gram runs 1 Jul 2027 to 21 Jul 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Kobeni?
Divisi does. It reads Kobeni'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 Kobeni, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
