RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION

LocationRicher soils at locations suitable for durum cultivation with warm and dry summers, viticultural climate, or regions where grain maize is cultivated.
Crop rotationOptimal preceding crops are foliage plants like rape or legumes. Sugar beet is limitedly suitable and maize and winter wheat are to be avoided.
Sowing timeBeginning of October until beginning of November
SeedingSowing time and sowing rate:

Early sowing: 360 - 400 grains/m²

Late sowing: 380 - 420 grains/m²

Increasing the sowing rate by ca. 10 % on the basis of organic production methods (e.g. harrowing) should be carried out at own discretion.
Weed controlCultivation should only be carried out on parcels with low weed pressure. When it comes to the cultivation of durum wheat repeated harrowing at the 3- or 4-leaf-stage during pre- and post- emergence is imperative. Another option would be the cultivation with a certain distance between the rows (e.g. 25 cm) that allows hoeing at 4-leaf-stage.
