What grows in Morsot
Tebessa, Algeria
The 2026/27 season in Morsot
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | October 2026 to April 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 370 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 370 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.4 °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 short crop, and only if timed to it, warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth |
| Ground this covers | 4 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 81% of this area. |
| 81% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 159 growing days · about 370 mm · October to April |
|---|---|
| 8% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 127 growing days · about 340 mm |
| 8% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 195 growing days · about 440 mm · October to April |
| 3% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 164 growing days · about 410 mm · October to April |

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.
What grows in Morsot with irrigation
These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Morsot, 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.
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 Morsot?
Beetroot, Chickpea, Lettuce, Kale, Swiss chard all rate well in Morsot — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Beetroot in Morsot?
In Morsot the window for Beetroot runs 5 Oct 2026 to 15 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Morsot?
Divisi does. It reads Morsot'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 Morsot, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
