Sow in fall, broadcast or in rows 15 cm apart, every 2 to 3 cm, covering the seeds by about 2 cm. The sowing density generally used is 15 to 20 g/m2.
It is also possible to let the wheat grow taller, with a 30 cm space between each plant. IMPORTANT: to prevent any risk of wheat decay, we recommend treating the seeds a few days before sowing in a 5% acetic solution (white vinegar diluted 50% in water). Half a teaspoon per sachet is sufficient (1.5 liters per 100 kg). Underdosing would be ineffective, and overdosing could limit germination.
