RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION
| Production target | Very high grain yields under locally adapted cultivation, providing the Zollernspelz-specific quality traits. |
| Sowing time | From the end of September to mid-October |
| Seeding | Sowing time and sowing rate: |
| Early sowing: 120-140 spikelets/m² (app. 170-190 kg/ha) | |
| Late sowing: 160-180 spikelets/m² (app. 200-220 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 | Zollernperle 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. |
