Cultivation recommendations
Recommended sowing rate
40-60 kg/ha
Sowing depth
3 cm
Sowing period
Early June until mid-August as a cover crop
Fertilization
Buckwheat has a good mineral assimilation capacity. Nitrogen mainly promotes leaf growth, which prolongs flowering, delays ripening and promotes storage fruit. Nitrogen fertilisation should be done in one application at sowing time with a maximum of 40 kg N/ha.
Crop protection
Usually there is no plant protection required
Sowing method
Drill seed recommended
