What grows in Bouati Mahmoud
Guelma, Algeria
The 2026/27 season in Bouati Mahmoud
| When the rains are expected | September 2026 to May 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 748 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — January, February, November and December look short of rain. Plant at the early end of the window, favour quicker and more drought-tolerant crops, and keep moisture in the soil: mulch, and weed early. |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.1 °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 | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 83% of this area. |

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.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Bouati Mahmoud?
Mandarin, Beetroot, Cabbage, Lettuce, Swiss chard all rate well in Bouati Mahmoud — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Mandarin in Bouati Mahmoud?
In Bouati Mahmoud the window for Mandarin runs 13 Sep 2026 to 31 Jan 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Bouati Mahmoud?
Divisi does. It reads Bouati Mahmoud'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 Bouati Mahmoud, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
