Growing Dhania in Kisii

Soil suitability analysis based on Kisii's nutrient profile

Dhania can be grown in Kisii County, but the soil scores 51/100 and needs targeted management to reach full potential. At an average pH of 5.21 the soil is moderately acidic, below Dhania's preferred 6–7.5 range; agricultural lime will lift pH and unlock phosphorus the crop cannot otherwise access. Nitrogen (1.09 g/kg), phosphorus (13.1 mg/kg) and potassium (151 mg/kg) all meet Dhania's requirements, so a maintenance fertilizer programme is enough. The county's predominantly clay loam soils suit Dhania, which favours loam. At current prices (about KES 75/kg) and a typical 900 kg/acre yield, a well-managed Dhania crop here can gross roughly KES 67,500 per acre.
