What grows in Aboudeia
SALAMAT, Tchad
The 2027 season in Aboudeia
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | June 2027 to October 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 625 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 625 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.6 °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 all year, so nothing but rain ends the season |
| Ground this covers | One kind of ground throughout. |

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

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Aboudeia?
African eggplant, African nightshade, Amaranth, Bambara groundnut, Carrot all rate well in Aboudeia — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant African eggplant in Aboudeia?

Is there a farming app that works in Aboudeia?
Divisi does. It reads Aboudeia'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 Aboudeia, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
