Cultivation recommendations
Recommended sowing rate
50-60 kg/ha
Sowing depth
2-3 cm
Sowing period
Early June until mid-August as a cover crop
Fertilization
Basic fertilization: P2O5 60 to 80 kg/ha K2O 60 to 80 kg/ha Do not use chloride-containing fertilisers! No limescale immediately before cultivation! Nitrogen fertilisation: 60 to 80 kg/ha less Nmin; with too much nitrogen increased weed growth, longer flowering time, delayed ripening! Organic fertilisation to previous crops, not immediately before buckwheat! High demand for trace elements (boron, molybdenum).
Crop protection
Usually there is no plant protection required
