| When to plant (establish) | 7 Sep 2026 – 4 Feb 2027 open now | 29 Aug 2026 – 2 Mar 2027 |

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 5 Jan 2027. That is the point in the window where the rains are most reliably established.
This season's rainfall outlook for El Bouni leans dry, so these dates sit later than the long-run average. Planting on the date you are used to risks germinating into a false start and having to replant.
Planting after 4 Feb 2027 leaves the crop short of season: it runs into the dry months before it has finished filling.

The 2026/27 season in El Bouni
| When the rains are expected | September 2026 to May 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 831 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — January, February, November and December 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 +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, with a cool spell that slows winter growth |
| Ground this covers | 3 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 88% of this area. |
| 88% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 245 growing days · about 830 mm · September to May |
|---|---|
| 6% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 280 growing days · about 1,140 mm · September to June |
| 6% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 234 growing days · about 810 mm · September to May |

What it takes to grow mango in El Bouni
| Planting material | About 135 plants per hectare |
|---|---|
| Nitrogen (N) | About 20 kg per hectare |
| Phosphate (P₂O₅) | About 5 kg per hectare |

| In the shops | A basal compound at planting — Compound D, or an NPK blend — covers the phosphate and potash. A nitrogen top dressing — urea or AN — goes on once the crop is established. |

These are the nutrients a mango crop of that size carries off the field. What you actually apply depends on what your soil already holds — which is what a soil test, or the app's field records, tell you.
