Growing Leek in Migori

Soil suitability analysis based on Migori's nutrient profile

Migori County is a solid choice for Leek, with a soil-match score of 62/100. At an average pH of 5.43 the soil is moderately acidic, below Leek's preferred 6–7.5 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 Leek, which favours loam. Leek's full potential is about 10,000 kg/acre (~KES 600,000/acre at KES 60/kg), but at Migori's 62/100 suitability a realistic target here is closer to 7,750 kg/acre (~KES 465,000/acre) unless the constraints above are addressed.
