Soybean (Glycine max) is a bushy, knee-high bean grown for a seed that is rich in protein and oil — good to eat, good to sell, and it leaves the soil richer for whatever you plant next.
| Measure | Rain-fed | With irrigation |

| Fit | Favourable | |
| When to plant | 12 Mar 2027 – 10 Jul 2027 opens in 23 weeks | 21 Jan 2026 – 1 Jan 2027 |
| Expected harvest | about 3.0 t/ha | about 4.0 t/ha |
| Harvest | From 10 Jun 2027 to 7 Dec 2027, depending on the planting date | |
| Ready to harvest | 90–150 days after planting | |
| Work it takes | 68–141 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 24 Mar 2027. That is the point in the window where the rains are most reliably established.
This season's rainfall outlook for Attiégouakro 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 10 Jul 2027 leaves the crop short of season: it runs into the dry months before it has finished filling.
What decides this in Attiégouakro
| Rain and temperature | 96% |
|---|---|
| The soil | 96% |
| The lie of the land | 88% |
For soybean in Attiégouakro, the lie of the land is the tightest of the three at 88%. You cannot flatten it, but you can farm it: plant along the contour rather than up and down, ridge or tie ridges to hold water on the slope, and expect shallower rooting than the crop would manage on flat ground.
The 2027 season in Attiégouakro
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | February 2027 to November 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,017 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 +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. |
| What that supports | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year, 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 a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 284 growing days · about 1,020 mm · February to November |
|---|---|
| 7% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 284 growing days · about 1,010 mm · February to November |

What it takes to grow soybean in Attiégouakro
| Planting material | About 350,000 plants per hectare |
|---|---|
| Nitrogen (N) | About 165 kg per hectare |
| Phosphate (P₂O₅) | About 45 kg per hectare |
| Potash (K₂O) | About 60 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. |
| Hand work | 68–141 days per hectare, by hand |
These are the nutrients a soybean 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.
