What grows in Ain Tine
Mila, Algeria
The 2026/27 season in Ain Tine
| When the rains are expected | September 2026 to May 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 762 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 762 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.6 °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. |

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 Ain Tine?
Beetroot, Swiss chard, Lettuce, Garlic, Kale all rate well in Ain Tine — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Beetroot in Ain Tine?
In Ain Tine the window for Beetroot runs 22 Sep 2026 to 4 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Ain Tine?
Divisi does. It reads Ain Tine'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 Ain Tine, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
