Cultivation recommendations:
| Recommended sowing rate | 80-100 grains/m² |
| Inoculation | Inoculate seed with suitable rhizobia before sowing |
| Sowing depth | 2-3 cm in a fine seedbed - sowing too deep reduces yield |
| Sowing period | Middle of March until early April |
| Fertilization | No N-fertilization necessary. Depending on the nutrient content of the soil and nutrient extraction 30-50 kg P₂O₅/ha, 60-130 kg K₂O/ha and about 25 kg MgO/ha are advised. Optimal pH-level between 5,0 and 6,8. Micronutrients: if necessary Epsom salt and bo |
| Crop protection | Use herbicides during pre-emergence or mechanically hoe or harrow the field for weed control. If necessary use fungicides against athracnose and rust. |
| Sowing method | Drilling is advised; row distance identical to cereals. |
| Harvest | Late July until early September. Optimal moisture for harvesting 14-16%. Use protective setting for threshing to avoid broken grains. |
