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 here with irrigation
Plan the season, not just check it
The crops above are gathered from every district in Savanne, and the ground under them is not all the same. 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 Savanne?
Cassava, Taro, Ginger, Grapefruit, Lemon all rate well in Savanne — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Cassava in Savanne?
In Savanne the window for Cassava runs 1 May 2026 to 11 Apr 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Savanne?
Divisi does. It reads Savanne'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 Savanne, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
