The sowing date varies depending on the variety and the altitude of the planting area

Characteristics required during the sowing of industrial hemp:

• Temperature of 12°C (0–10 cm range)
• Press down on the bottom of the seedbed to ensure the seed drill works evenly
• Crumble the top 3 to 7 cm to ensure good seed–soil contact (high porosity, with small aggregates). However, at least 40% of the aggregates must be larger than the seed being sown in order to prevent erosion and crusting
• Plot free of any foreign objects on the surface
• Dry plot
• Levelled plot

Take care with the sowing depth: the ideal depth is 1 cm. Hemp has low germination energy. This is why we recommend a depth of no more than 1 cm (beware of crusting) => >structure is limiting. Avoid planting hemp before heavy rainfall (risk of soil crusting in loamy soil and seed leaching).
