|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | March 2026 to November 2026 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,294 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 1,294 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.0 °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. |

| Ground this covers | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 96% of this area. |

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 Boganangone

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Boganangone, 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 Boganangone?
African nightshade, Cashew, Common bean, Cucumber, Jute mallow all rate well in Boganangone — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant African nightshade in Boganangone?
In Boganangone the window for African nightshade runs 8 Apr 2026 to 23 Sep 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Boganangone?
Divisi does. It reads Boganangone'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 Boganangone, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
