What grows in Djode
LOGONE OCCIDENTAL, Tchad
The 2026 season in Djode
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | May 2026 to November 2026 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,006 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 1,006 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.2 °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 full main crop, 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 71% of this area. |
| 71% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 200 growing days · about 1,030 mm · May to November |
|---|---|
| 29% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 167 growing days · about 960 mm · May to October |

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 Djode 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 Djode, 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 Djode?
Jute mallow, African eggplant, African nightshade, Amaranth, Bambara groundnut all rate well in Djode — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Jute mallow in Djode?
In Djode the window for Jute mallow runs 16 May 2026 to 25 Sep 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Djode?
Divisi does. It reads Djode'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 Djode, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
