Description

This advisory was developed on 16th and 17th September 2009 by a team representing scientists from Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD), Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI), International Crops Research Institute for Semi-arid Tropics (ICRISAT), and University of Nairobi (UoN) and officers from the Agricultural Extension Department of the Ministry of Agriculture. This advisory is mainly aimed at supporting the farm level decision making in Kitui area in planning agricultural operations for the 2009 Short Rain Season. Applicability to other areas depends on the similarities in soil and climatic conditions of such places with those of these areas.
