What grows in Oued Fragha
Guelma, Algeria
The 2026/27 season in Oued Fragha
| When the rains are expected | September 2026 to May 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 690 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 | One kind of ground throughout. |

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Oued Fragha?
Beetroot, Mandarin, Wheat, Cabbage, Common bean all rate well in Oued Fragha — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Beetroot in Oued Fragha?
In Oued Fragha the window for Beetroot runs 4 Oct 2026 to 20 Dec 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Oued Fragha?
Divisi does. It reads Oued Fragha'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 Oued Fragha, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
