| Seeding | Sowing time and sowing rate: |
| Standard sowing: 150-170 spikelets/m² (app. 160-180 kg/ha) | |
| Late sowing: 170-190 spikelets/m² (app. 180-200 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 | Späths Albjuwel competes well against weeds, so that two to three rounds of harrowing should normally be sufficient. The first harrowing should be performed as early as possible once the 3 leaf stage has begun in spring. A second round should be carried out three to four weeks later. |
