Sowing should take place after consistent rainfall.
Double-check machines to ensure that they drop the correct amount of seeds per line.
Fertilization must be done based on the results of the soil analysis.
Be careful not to mix the seeds with the nitrogen/potassium dressing as the seeds might burn.
Phosphate dressing may be mixed with the seeds on the day of sowing.
Planting in dry conditions is only recommended if rainfall is predicted shortly after planting.
Seeds can be sowed widely (broadcast) or in rows:
by hand;
with a fertilizer spreader;
with a fine seed planter (35-45 cm rows);
with a wheat planter with blades/teeth removed;
The correct planting depth is an important factor. Optimal planting depth is usually between 10mm and 25mm. Planting too deep may hinder the germination.
Plant with 150 – 200 kg/ha Supper phosphate.
The use of a roller is recommended after sowing to compact the seeds into the soil.
