Identification of crop-growing seasons of semi-arid Kenya by analyses of the soil Moisture patterns.
Eight stations with over 30 years of rainfall record were selected in the dry region of Kenya, east of 37°E longitude, to study the nature of the crop growing seasons during the short and the long rains (October through June). The rainfall data were reduced to soil moisture based upon area wide assu...
