Growing Garden Peas in Migori

Soil suitability analysis based on Migori's nutrient profile

Migori County is a solid choice for Garden Peas, with a soil-match score of 61/100. At an average pH of 5.43 the soil is moderately acidic, below Garden Peas's preferred 5.5–7 range; agricultural lime will lift pH and unlock phosphorus the crop cannot otherwise access. Nitrogen (1.2 g/kg), phosphorus (12.2 mg/kg) and potassium (169 mg/kg) all meet Garden Peas's requirements, so a maintenance fertilizer programme is enough. Garden Peas prefers sandy loam soils, while Migori is largely clay loam, so drainage and organic-matter management matter more here. On ShambaIQ's soil-match model, Garden Peas is the #64 soil match of the 106 crops we assess for Migori County. Garden Peas's full potential is about 2,500 kg/acre (~KES 362,500/acre at KES 145/kg), but at Migori's 61/100 suitability a realistic target here is closer to 1,906 kg/acre (~KES 276,370/acre) unless the constraints above are addressed.
