Consejos de cultivo
Broadcast seed onto a well-prepared, firm seedbed and roll lightly; teff seed is tiny (< 1 mm) and must not be buried deeper than 1 cm.
Waterlogging is the primary yield limiter. On heavy clay soils, use raised beds or the traditional Ethiopian broad-bed furrow system.
Harvest promptly when the panicle turns straw-colored to minimize shattering losses, which can exceed 20%.
