Soil suitability and agriculture in Migori County

Choosing the right inputs in Migori County starts with its soil chemistry. Sitting in the Lake Victoria Basin zone, Migori records an average soil pH of 5.43 — strongly acidic. At this acidity, phosphorus and several nutrients get locked in the soil, so liming before planting is one of the highest-return moves a Migori farmer can make.

On nutrients, Migori soils measure nitrogen at 1.2 g/kg, extractable phosphorus at 12.2 mg/kg and potassium at 169 mg/kg. A basal DAP or NPK dressing at planting followed by CAN top-dressing is the usual backbone, but the exact blend and bag-per-acre rate should be tuned to these figures and your target crop.
