What grows in Ouled Rahmoun
Constantine, Algeria
The 2026/27 season in Ouled Rahmoun
| When the rains are expected | October 2026 to May 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 490 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 490 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.5 °C over the growing months. Heat makes the same rain do less, so a dry spell bites sooner: do not plant late, and shade or mulch what you can. |
| What that supports | enough rain for one full main crop, warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth |
| Ground this covers | One kind of ground throughout. |

The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Ouled Rahmoun, and the map colours which kind of ground each part of it is. Your own soil, slope and rainfall will shift the dates — the Divisi app works them out for your field, and dates each job that follows.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Ouled Rahmoun?
Beetroot, Garlic, Swiss chard, Lettuce, Chickpea all rate well in Ouled Rahmoun — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Beetroot in Ouled Rahmoun?
In Ouled Rahmoun the window for Beetroot runs 15 Sep 2026 to 9 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Ouled Rahmoun?
Divisi does. It reads Ouled Rahmoun'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 Ouled Rahmoun, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
