East African Agricultural And Forestry Journal, 1-42. https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/45140012-8325https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/4514The correlation between effective rainfall during the growing season, onset of rains and early season rainfall is considered and recommendations are given for cultivation of maize, beans [Phaseolus vulgaris] and intercropped maize + beans or alternative more drought-resistant crops according to predicted rainfall. Correlations are confirmed with reference to data from 10 sites in Machakos, Kitui and Kajiado districts for up to 55 years.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Journal ContributionFarmingRainfallCrop productionClimateanalysis
