When and how to grow it for optimal yield
Soil preparation : prefer light, deep soil rich in organic matter; work up to 20 cm deep and incorporate well-decomposed compost.
Sowing and spacing : shallow sowing (1–2 cm); space plants 8–10 cm apart and rows 25–30 cm apart to allow for uniform root development.
Maintenance : water regularly without saturating; light mulching helps maintain moisture and limit weeds; thin if necessary to promote well-formed roots.
Controls and rotation : monitor for pests and diseases, and practice crop rotation to preserve the vigor of organic seeds and prevent soil depletion.
