Optimum soil types are loam and sandy loam, with sufficient organic matter and a soil pH of 6.5–7.5. Nitrogenous fertiliser is applied only on light soils and soils poor in humus prior to sowing at a rate of 20 kg/ha active substance. The rates of phosphate and potassium fertilisers are 60 and 90 kg/ha, respectively. Trace minerals (Mn, Mg) are highly important, particularly, in arid conditions.
