The 2026 season in Eti-Osa
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | March 2026 to December 2026 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,472 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — September and October look short of rain. Plant at the early end of the window, favour quicker and more drought-tolerant crops, and keep moisture in the soil: mulch, and weed early. |
| What that supports | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season |
| Ground this covers | 4 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 47% of this area. |
| 47% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 298 growing days · about 1,460 mm · March to December |
|---|---|
| 42% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 301 growing days · about 1,500 mm · March to December |
| 5% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 301 growing days · about 1,550 mm · March to December |
| 5% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 267 growing days · about 1,420 mm · March to November |

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.

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Eti-Osa, 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 Eti-Osa?
African eggplant, African nightshade, Amaranth, Cashew, Common bean all rate well in Eti-Osa — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant African eggplant in Eti-Osa?
In Eti-Osa the window for African eggplant runs 19 Mar 2026 to 17 Sep 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Eti-Osa?
Divisi does. It reads Eti-Osa'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 Eti-Osa, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
