Cultivation recommendations:
| Recommended sowing rate | 40 - 50 grains/m² |
| Sowing depth | 6 - 8 cm on heavy soils, 8 - 10 cm on light soils |
| Sowing period | Earliest possible in spring - frost tolerant up to approx. -5°C |
| Sowing method | Single or double row spacing is beneficial for the yield, larger row spacing in combination with precision sowing is possible. |
| Fertilization | No N-fertilization necessary. Depending on the nutrient content of the soil and nutrient extraction 40-60 kg P₂O₅/ha, 100-130 kg K₂O/ha and about 20-50 kg MgO/ha are advised. If necessary an application of sulphur is suggested. |
| Crop protection | Use herbicides during pre-emergence or mechanically hoe or harrow the field for weed control. Post-emergence herbicide application specifically against grasses is possible. If necessary use fungizides against chocolate spots. Use clean seed to avoid ascoc |
| Harvest | Easy to combine due to even maturity and high stiffness. Optimal moister for the harvest is 15-19%. Use protective setting for threshing to avoid broken grains. |
