Cultivation

Field cultivation of dill

Anethum graveolens L.

Dill cultivation in open fields is based on staggered sowing and the management of the plant's photoperiodic response to prevent premature bolting.

In the reference 13 varieties crop Dill, where this is mentioned in the description.

When cultivating dill in the open field, the key objective is to prevent the transition to flowering, which is triggered by daylight exceeding 15 hours. To ensure continuous harvesting of marketable greens, multiple sowings are practiced at intervals of 10–15 days, using varieties resistant to early bolting.

The crop is demanding of soil conditions, reacting negatively to a pH below 6.3 and excessive nitrogen fertilizer application, which reduces product quality. Dill should be excluded from crop rotation following members of the Apiaceae family to avoid the accumulation of specific pathogens, and in agronomic practice, it is important to consider the separation of plots depending on the production goal — marketable greens or seed umbels for preservation.
