Growing Carrot in Nyamira

Soil suitability analysis based on Nyamira's nutrient profile

Nyamira County is a solid choice for Carrot, with a soil-match score of 69/100. Local soils average pH 5.58 — slightly acidic to near-neutral and inside the 5.5–7 band Carrot prefers, so no lime is usually required. The main gap is phosphorus and potassium — measured at N 0.84 g/kg, P 11.6 mg/kg, K 148 mg/kg against this crop's low/medium/high demand — so the fertilizer plan below prioritises closing those deficits. The county's predominantly clay loam soils suit Carrot, which favours sandy loam. At current prices (about KES 38/kg) and a typical 5,500 kg/acre yield, a well-managed Carrot crop here can gross roughly KES 209,000 per acre.
