What grows in Bas-Mono
Maritime, Togo
The 2026 season in Bas-Mono
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | March 2026 to November 2026 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 933 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. |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +0.6 °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 93% of this area. |
| 93% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 262 growing days · about 940 mm · March to November |
|---|---|
| 7% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 261 growing days · about 910 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 Bas-Mono, 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 Bas-Mono?
Cashew, Jute mallow, African eggplant, African nightshade, Amaranth all rate well in Bas-Mono — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Cashew in Bas-Mono?
In Bas-Mono the window for Cashew runs 7 Mar 2026 to 18 Sep 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Bas-Mono?
Divisi does. It reads Bas-Mono'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 Bas-Mono, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
