Crop calendar for sorghum, millet, barley, maize and wheat for most African countries at national and subnational level. The national and sub-national crop calendars are based on FAO data and include only crops for which the original calendars match with the ASAP remote sensing based phenology. The dataset contains the start and end dekad (over the 36 dekads in a year) of the planting (sos_s and sos_e), the start and end dekad of growth (sos_e and eos_s) and the start and end dekad of harvest (eos_s and eos_e). The rest of the year is considered out of season.
