Cultivation recommendations:
| Recommended sowing rate | 60 - 80 grains/m² |
| Sowing depth | 4 - 6 cm; good water supply essential |
| Sowing period | Middle of March to end of April |
| 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. |
| 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; if necessary roll after sowing |
| Harvest | At harvest pods and stems should be brown, the grains hard. Optimal moisture for harvesting 14-16%. Use protective setting fo threshing to avoid broken grains and micro cracks. |
