What grows in Aghni Goughran
Tizi Ouzou, Algeria
The 2026/27 season in Aghni Goughran
| When the rains are expected | September 2026 to May 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 783 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 +1.2 °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 | 3 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 33% of this area. |

|---|---|

| 33% | enough rain for one full main crop; cool for part of the year, so frost sets the planting date 202 growing days · about 960 mm · February to June |

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

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 Aghni Goughran?
Mandarin, Wheat, Beetroot, Swiss chard, Common bean all rate well in Aghni Goughran — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Mandarin in Aghni Goughran?
In Aghni Goughran the window for Mandarin runs 10 Sep 2026 to 17 Feb 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Aghni Goughran?
Divisi does. It reads Aghni Goughran'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 Aghni Goughran, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
