Cultivation recommendations:
| Recommended sowing rate | 50 grains/m² |
| Inoculation | Inoculate seed with suitable rhizobia before sowing |
| Sowing depth | 4 - 8 cm; good water supply essential |
| Sowing period | End of April to end of May; soil temperature 7°C, no frost |
| 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. A neutral soil pH is ideal. |
| 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. When considering usage of fungizides and insecticides mind the damage threshhold. |
| Sowing method | Single or double row spacing is beneficial for the yield |
| Harvest | At harvest pods and stems should be brown, the grains hard. Optimal moisture for harvesting 14-16%. Ease of combine due to high stiffness. |
