Growing recommendations

Direct sowing in well-prepared, loose, stone-free ground. For Romania, early sowing under cover and seasonal sowing according to climatic zone are recommended. Keep moisture constant until emergence, avoid excess nitrogen and practise crop rotation to reduce disease pressure.

Growing conditions

• Spacing / density: 1.0–1.8 million plants/ha, depending on the segment and the calibre required.
• Temperatures: Germination at 18°C; emergence in 10–14 days; optimal growth 15–22°C.
• Exposure: Sun / good light, adapted to the species
• Recommended soil: Fertile, well-drained soil with good structure; adjust fertilisation according to a soil analysis.
• Water needs: Consistent watering, without excess; keep moisture uniform during critical stages.
• Fertilising: Balanced NPK fertilisation, with emphasis on potassium/calcium for fruiting crops and on uniformity for root and leafy crops.
• Productivity: A long, straight root, sustained colour, very good germination energy and high yield potential.
• Intended use: Bunching, bulk
• Sowing calendar: Adaptation for Romania: according to crop type, climatic zone and growing technology; see the technical recommendations in the data sheet.
• Harvest calendar: Depending on the cycle, segment and sowing/planting date.
