Planting and Sowing

PLANTING AND SOWING PROCEDURES

Planting and Sowing Procedures

  • 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.
