sowing date
Data · 31 Oct 2020, 15:08 · 8
hi, @organizators, can you please help with sowing date info, does all fields were planted at the same period, and when it was?
Fields were planted between 2016 and 2019. For each field, the data available is from the appropriate year. For eg, a field planted March 2016 and harvested later that year will have imagery etc from Jan - Dec 2016.
thanks for clarification
@Johnowhitaker: Does that mean that planting time was always around March (in different years) or can they be planted also in Nov/Dec (I think there is a secondary planting season in Easter/Northern Kenya)?
Are the fields from the same area and harvested in a similar time as well?
@Johnowhitaker: Any updates on this?
The fields cover quite a large area, so I'd expect some similarity in terms of rough harvesting date but there is also a lot of variability around the exact date in these small scale farms.
Thanks for the reply! Do you know whether they are from one specific region of Kenya only or are they from the entire country? (i.e. what means "large" in your sentence ;-)
Mostly Western Kenya. By large, an area of maybe 300km by 300km contains most of the fields.
Perfect. That helps to understand the problem a bit better. Thank you.
