Direct Mechanical Sowing<\/h4>

- more common on large-scale farms
- reduces time and costs
- uses pelleted seed
- requires pneumatic or mechanical precision seeders
- tends to slightly extend the crop cycle

- can shorten the crop cycle
- requires a nursery or ready-to-transplant seedlings
- allows the selection of the most vigorous seedlings

SUMMER SOWING:
85,000\u201390,000 plants per hectare<\/h4>

In summer, higher temperatures accelerate the crop cycle and promote smaller bulbs: a higher planting density compensates for the reduced size and optimizes yield per hectare. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

AUTUMN\u2013WINTER SOWING:
60,000\u201370,000 plants per hectare <\/h4>

In winter, the crop cycle is longer, giving plants more time to develop. Excessive planting density creates competition for light and nutrients, reducing bulb size and commercial quality. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
