Growing tree trunk
According to the technology of cultivation, the bottom plant is in many ways similar to
spring cereals. In a dry climate, it is sown in its pure form, and in a more humid climate - as a cover crop for early spring and millet.
Soil processing is carried out similarly to grain, with increased acidity, lime is applied, which significantly increases the yield.

Sowing of the bottom plant is carried out in a continuous row method, covered to a depth of 3 cm, simultaneously applying superphosphate.
Seeds undergo pre-sowing treatment with scarification (scratching of the shell), which significantly increases their germination. For livestock feed, mow a month before frost in the first year of vegetation and 2 weeks before flowering in the second, in both cases by cutting the grass at a height of 12-15 cm. Seeds are harvested in the second hour from the first or second cutting.
It can grow after any predecessors and on any soil, except for acidic and waterlogged soils, it has high winter hardiness and drought resistance, is resistant to diseases and pests, which makes it a popular agricultural crop all over the world.
