RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION
| Production target | Very high grain yields and high falling numbers. |
| Sowing time | From the end of September to beginning of November. |
| Seeding | Sowing time and sowing rate: |
| Early sowing: 110-130 spikelets/m² (app. 150-170 kg/ha) | |
| Late sowing: 140-160 spikelets/m² (app. 180-210 kg/ha) | |
| Increasing the sowing rate on the basis of organic production methods (e.g. harrowing) should be carried out at own discretion. | |
| Weed control | Conforte competes very well against weeds, so that two rounds of harrowing should be sufficient. The first harrowing should be performed as early as possible from the beginning of the 3 leaf stage on in spring. A second round should be carried out three to four weeks later. |
