| Measure | Rain-fed | With irrigation |
|---|---|---|
| Fit | Favourable | |
| When to plant (establish) | 5 Sep 2026 – 2 Feb 2027 open now | 29 Aug 2026 – 22 Mar 2027 |
| Expected harvest | about 8.3 t/ha | about 11.5 t/ha |
| Work it takes | 62–147 days per hectare, by hand | |
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.
If you only get one chance to plant, aim for around 3 Jan 2027. That is the point in the window where the rains are most reliably established.
This season's rainfall outlook for Algeria is close to normal, so these dates match the pattern the area usually follows.
Planting after 2 Feb 2027 leaves the crop short of season: it runs into the dry months before it has finished filling.
What decides this in Algeria
| Rain and temperature | 76% |
|---|---|
| The soil | 96% |
| The lie of the land | 76% |
For mango in Algeria, rain and temperature is the tightest of the three at 76%. This one is fixed. It is why the planting window above is where it is — hitting those dates is the whole of your control here.
The 2026/27 season in Algeria
| When the rains are expected | October 2026 to March 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 323 mm in a typical farming district |
| Across its districts | From about 8 mm in the driest of 1541 districts to about 1,546 mm in the wettest |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 323 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.0 °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, with a cool spell that slows winter growth |
| Ground this covers | 3 kinds of ground. The season below is one typical farming district's, not a figure for the whole of this area. |
| 76% | too dry for rain-fed cropping without irrigation; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth no rain-fed season · about 30 mm |
|---|---|
| 16% | too dry for rain-fed cropping without irrigation; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season no rain-fed season · about 30 mm |
| 3% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 161 growing days · about 360 mm · October to March |

Frost and pest pressure hold back about 40% of yield here.
What mango needs to grow here
| Soil it likes | well-drained sandy loam or loam soil |
|---|---|
| Soil sourness (pH) | Happiest between pH 5.5 and 7.5 |
| Spacing | 900 cm between rows, 900 cm between plants |
| Feed it most with | nitrogen, potassium, zinc and boron |
What it takes to grow mango in Algeria
| Planting material | About 135 plants per hectare |
|---|---|
| Nitrogen (N) | About 17 kg per hectare |
| Phosphate (P₂O₅) | About 4 kg per hectare |
| Potash (K₂O) | About 29 kg per hectare |
| In the shops | A basal compound at planting — Compound D, or an NPK blend — covers the phosphate and potash. A nitrogen top dressing — urea or AN — goes on once the crop is established. |
| Hand work | 62–147 days per hectare, by hand |
These are the nutrients a mango crop of that size carries off the field. What you actually apply depends on what your soil already holds — which is what a soil test, or the app's field records, tell you.
