When the rains are expectedJuly 2026 to January 2027
Rain in a typical yearAbout 808 mm
This season's rainLeaning wet — January, February, November and December look heavier than usual. Make sure water can drain off the field; a wet year does more damage through waterlogging and disease than through the rain itself.
This season's heatHotter 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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Kazo?

Cashew, Cowpea, Green gram, Lablab, Mango all rate well in Kazo — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Cashew in Kazo?

In Kazo the window for Cashew runs 24 Jul 2026 to 20 Nov 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Kazo?

Divisi does. It reads Kazo'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 Kazo, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
