Wintereinkorn Monoverde
Monoverde is a winter einkorn (old world grain). It is particularly austere and shows great leaf-health, winter hardiness, as well as an improved straw stability.
SVARIETY TRAITS AND SUSCEPTIBILITY TO DISEASE (BREEDER’S CLASSIFICATION)
| Yield | medium |
| Reife | late |
| TKM (thousand kernel mass) | low |
| Plant height | medium to high |
| Risk of lodging | moderate |
| Powdery mildew | low |
| Leaf rust | low |
| Yellow rust | low to medium |
| Septoria leaf bloch | low |
| Winter hardiness | high |
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION
| Production target | Good grain yields with quality traits typical for einkorn under extensive cultivation and a risk of lodging kept as low as possible. |
| Crop rotation | Comparable to spelt wheat with regard to crop rotation; ripening approx. 1-2 weeks later than wheat; positive experience with regard to cultivation after grain maize. |
| Sowing time | From the end of September to mid-October |
| Seeding | Sowing rate: |
| Standard sowing: 300 - 350 germinable spikelets/m² (app. 100 - 120 kg/ha) | |
| Late sowing: 350 - 400 germinable spikelets/m² (app. 120 - 140 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 | Blind harrowing in autumn is recommended, in order to get weed pressure under control that was built up due to a very slow youth development. From leaf stage 3 on, harrowing is possible again. |
