Rain-fed. These dates are worked out from each place's own rainfall, for a field watered by the season — with irrigation a window can open earlier, close later, or come round more than once a year. Check your own field under What grows, or get the Divisi app for a calendar dated to your farm.
What grows in Bourached with irrigation
These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Bourached?
Beetroot, Cabbage, Lettuce, Swiss chard, Common bean all rate well in Bourached — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Beetroot in Bourached?
In Bourached the window for Beetroot runs 30 Sep 2026 to 29 Nov 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Bourached?
Divisi does. It reads Bourached's own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average, so the planting dates and crop shortlist on this page are the same ones the app works out for a field here — then dates each job for that field, and keeps working with no signal.
Is this exact for my own field?
No — these are readings taken across Bourached, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
