kiwi farming - What are the weather requirements for this crop and specifically which areas in Kenya would the fruit do well?
-Also what fertiliser is the best for the fruit and when should it be applied?
Kiwi is a temperate fruit and it can do well in the temperate regions of Kenya like Central, Western highlands, Central Rift Valley and others.
It can grow in a wide range of soils provided they are well-drained and have pH of 5.0 and 6.5. Exposure to a lot of fertiliser results to burning of the roots, therefore, it is advisable to use compost manure. It is a shallow rooted crop, therefore, requires frequent irrigation.
