ESSENTIAL SOWING CONCEPTS
Normal Planting Depth: from 2 to 4 cm
Thick stem, short rhizome and resistant to frostbite.
Multiple tillering providing from 3 to 6 shoots and
a lot of blades, from 6 to 10.
Deep and thick roots, approximately 5 cm in width
and 10-12 cm in depth.
With less grains per sowing square metre, more ears
are obtained.

Deeper Planting: from 5 to 6 cm
Fine stem, rhizome exposed to frostbite.
Late and weak tillering, 1 or zero shoots and only a
few blades, 3-4 aprox.
Medium quality roots of approximately 3 cm in
width and 5 cm in depth
More grains per sowing square metre are required
to obtain the same number of ears as in the pre-
vious case.

Very deep planting: from 8 to 10 cm
Very fine stem. No tillering and only one blade.
Seed runs out of supplies by growing a long rhizome
which frostbite can easily cut.
The plant takes weak roots, approximately 1 cm in
width and 3 cm in depth.
Twice the number of grains per sowing metre are
required to obtain the same number of ears as in
