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.

Plan the season, not just check it

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Bejaia?

Sweet orange, Mandarin, Beetroot, Cabbage, Swiss chard all rate well in Bejaia — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Sweet orange in Bejaia?

In Bejaia the window for Sweet orange runs 10 Sep 2026 to 30 Sep 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Bejaia?

Divisi does. It reads Bejaia'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 Bejaia, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
