When to plant Guava in La Nya pendé
LOGONE ORIENTAL, Tchad
Guava is a tough, evergreen little tree that fruits almost anywhere — it shrugs off heat, drought, and poor, sour or salty soil.
| Measure | Rain-fed | With irrigation |
|---|---|---|
| Fit | Favourable | |
| When to plant (establish) | 17 Apr 2027 – 15 Aug 2027 opens in 28 weeks | 21 Jan 2026 – 1 Jan 2027 |
| Expected harvest | about 21.2 t/ha | about 35.0 t/ha |

| Work it takes | 83–173 days per hectare, by hand | |
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.
If you only get one chance to plant, aim for around 7 May 2027. That is the point in the window where the rains are most reliably established.
This season's rainfall outlook for La Nya pendé is close to normal, so these dates match the pattern the area usually follows.
Planting after 15 Aug 2027 leaves the crop short of season: it runs into the dry months before it has finished filling.

The 2026 season in La Nya pendé
| 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 1,096 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 1,096 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.1 °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 96% of this area. |
| 96% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 205 growing days · about 1,050 mm · May to November |
|---|---|
| 3% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 172 growing days · about 1,010 mm · May to October |
