Conseils de culture
Spelt requires dehulling after harvest, which adds a processing step. Factor in dehulling equipment or contract services in your budget.
Lower nitrogen inputs are sufficient compared to modern wheat; excessive nitrogen increases lodging risk due to spelt's tall straw.
The tough hull protects grain in storage, reducing insect damage. Store unhulled for longer shelf life.
