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. The county's predominantly clay loam soils suit Garden Peas, which favours sandy loam. At current prices (about KES 145/kg) and a typical 2,000 kg/acre yield, a well-managed Garden Peas crop here can gross roughly KES 290,000 per acre.
