What grows in Hadjeret Ennous
Tipaza, Algeria
The 2026/27 season in Hadjeret Ennous
| When the rains are expected | October 2026 to April 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 580 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 +0.9 °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 80% of this area. |

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 Hadjeret Ennous?
Beetroot, Cabbage, Common bean, Irish potato, Lettuce all rate well in Hadjeret Ennous — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Beetroot in Hadjeret Ennous?
In Hadjeret Ennous the window for Beetroot runs 30 Sep 2026 to 20 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Hadjeret Ennous?
Divisi does. It reads Hadjeret Ennous'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 Hadjeret Ennous, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
