Growing Cucumber in Migori

Soil suitability analysis based on Migori's nutrient profile

Migori County is a solid choice for Cucumber, with a soil-match score of 69/100. At an average pH of 5.43 the soil is moderately acidic, below Cucumber's preferred 5.8–7 range; agricultural lime will lift pH and unlock phosphorus the crop cannot otherwise access. The main gap is potassium — measured at N 1.2 g/kg, P 12.2 mg/kg, K 169 mg/kg against this crop's high/medium/high demand — so the fertilizer plan below prioritises closing that deficit. The county's predominantly clay loam soils suit Cucumber, which favours loam. Cucumber's full potential is about 12,000 kg/acre (~KES 480,000/acre at KES 40/kg), but at Migori's 69/100 suitability a realistic target here is closer to 10,350 kg/acre (~KES 414,000/acre) unless the constraints above are addressed.
