What grows in Beni Mouhli
Setif, Algeria
The 2026/27 season in Beni Mouhli
| When the rains are expected | October 2026 to May 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 636 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 +1.0 °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 50% of this area. |

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Beni Mouhli, 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.

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 Beni Mouhli?
Beetroot, Lettuce, Chickpea, Kale, Swiss chard all rate well in Beni Mouhli — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Beetroot in Beni Mouhli?
In Beni Mouhli the window for Beetroot runs 16 Sep 2026 to 10 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Beni Mouhli?
Divisi does. It reads Beni Mouhli'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 Beni Mouhli, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
