Cultivation
Frühlim thrives best on well drained sandy soils. During multi-annual own research, the best results for the white cultivation were achieved with a plant density of 3.5 - 4 plants per linear metre and a plant depth of 16 - 20 cm. Due to its natural earliness and advancing, Frühlim is very suitable for extra growing cultivation measures and advance with the aid of thermal foil or a mini-tunnel. Also under various types of covering, Frühlim keeps producing high-quality crops.
