What grows in Ouled Addouane
Setif, Algeria
The 2026/27 season in Ouled Addouane
| When the rains are expected | September 2026 to May 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 600 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 600 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, cool for part of the year, so frost sets the planting date |
| Ground this covers | 3 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 43% of this area. |
| 43% | enough rain for one full main crop; cool for part of the year, so frost sets the planting date 201 growing days · about 540 mm · September to May |
|---|---|
| 29% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 221 growing days · about 580 mm · September to May |
| 29% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; cool for part of the year, so frost sets the planting date 175 growing days · about 590 mm · February to May |

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.

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Ouled Addouane, 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 Ouled Addouane?
Beetroot, Garlic, Lettuce, Swiss chard, Chickpea all rate well in Ouled Addouane — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Beetroot in Ouled Addouane?
In Ouled Addouane the window for Beetroot runs 9 Sep 2026 to 3 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Ouled Addouane?
Divisi does. It reads Ouled Addouane'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 Ouled Addouane, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
