| Fit | Favourable | |
| When to plant | 1 Feb 2027 – 22 Apr 2027 opens in 18 weeks | 10 Feb 2026 – 17 Nov 2026 |
| Expected harvest | about 10.0 t/ha | about 13.2 t/ha |
| Harvest | From 2 Apr 2027 to 21 Jul 2027, depending on the planting date | |

| Work it takes | 80–157 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 1 Feb 2027. That is the point in the window where the rains are most reliably established.
This season's rainfall outlook for Komo-Mondah 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 22 Apr 2027 leaves the crop short of season: it runs into the dry months before it has finished filling.

|---|---|
| Phosphate (P₂O₅) | About 10 kg per hectare |
