Plan the season, not just check it
The crops above are gathered from every district in Oran, and the ground under them is not all the same. 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.
Or check your field firstThis calendar moves
Planting windows shift with the forecast. Leave your email and we'll send what changed, and a note when planting time nears — a couple of emails a month at most.
Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Oran?
Beetroot, Wheat, Swiss chard, Lettuce, Cabbage all rate well in Oran — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Beetroot in Oran?
In Oran the window for Beetroot runs 18 Oct 2026 to 7 Nov 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Oran?
Divisi does. It reads Oran'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 Oran, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
