| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 493 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. |

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 Oued Chouly, 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 Oued Chouly?
Beetroot, Swiss chard, Garlic, Lettuce, Kale all rate well in Oued Chouly — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Beetroot in Oued Chouly?
In Oued Chouly the window for Beetroot runs 3 Oct 2026 to 13 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Oued Chouly?
Divisi does. It reads Oued Chouly'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 Oued Chouly, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
