What grows in Sebdou
Tlemcen, Algeria
The 2026/27 season in Sebdou
| When the rains are expected | October 2026 to April 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 476 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 476 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 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 92% of this area. |
| 92% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 186 growing days · about 470 mm · October to April |
|---|---|
| 8% | enough rain for one full main crop; cool for part of the year, so frost sets the planting date 195 growing days · about 560 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 Sebdou 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 Sebdou, 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.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Sebdou?
Beetroot, Garlic, Swiss chard, Lettuce, Kale all rate well in Sebdou — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Beetroot in Sebdou?
In Sebdou the window for Beetroot runs 29 Sep 2026 to 9 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Sebdou?
Divisi does. It reads Sebdou'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 Sebdou, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
