Plan the season, not just check it

The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Kibaha, 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 Kibaha?

Cassava, Pineapple, Pigeon pea, Cotton, Guava all rate well in Kibaha — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Cassava in Kibaha?

In Kibaha the window for Cassava runs 17 Sep 2026 to 7 Oct 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Kibaha?

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