Crops growable per region
I remember there's a time that Dr. Ndemo said that there was a way we could tell what crops were viable in an area by looking up the place's geo co-ordinates. I was in Ukambani recently, where farmers keep planting crops and checking if they would grow and are watered from a borehole containing salty water. Is the data on crops that are viable in such areas openly available, as this would be quite helpful in assisting the farmers decide on what to grow. -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>
Dennis; I know that KEPHIS have this information available and searchable via SMS (cannot remember the short code) but they also have it on their website on the link below: http://kephis.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=97 regards; Judy. @judynjogu From: kictanet-bounces+jgnjogu=safaricom.co.ke@lists.kictanet.or.ke [mailto:kictanet-bounces+jgnjogu=safaricom.co.ke@lists.kictanet.or.ke] On Behalf Of Dennis Kioko Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2012 1:10 PM To: Judy Njogu Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions Subject: [kictanet] Crops growable per region I remember there's a time that Dr. Ndemo said that there was a way we could tell what crops were viable in an area by looking up the place's geo co-ordinates.

That's great info. However, my interest was mostly in other crops, especially fruits and vegetables such as Water Melon (under irrigation)
