Agricultural technology.
Dill is a cold-resistant, light-loving plant that prefers fertile, moist areas. Dill seeds are sown on prepared soil without incorporation but with mandatory 2-3 cm peat mulching. Seedlings appear on the 10-15th day.
Care of crops consists in loosening row spacing, watering and top dressing. To obtain earlier greenery from open ground, dill is sown before winter, on frozen soil (in the second decade of November), and covered with 2-3 cm of peat.
* Bush varieties form lateral shoots in the leaf axils, so the plant looks like a whole bush. However, all the typical characteristics of bush varieties can be shown only under one important condition - a large feeding area.
Bush dill is distinguished by a high yield of greens and its aroma, it does not begin flowering for a long time, due to which the duration of the commercial validity phase increases. And this makes it possible to get a large profit: greens can be picked from the bushes for about 1.5 months, saving on seed material.
With the usual density of plants, lateral shoots do not grow in bush varieties, although even in these conditions they form a stem later than ordinary varieties. That is why when sowing such varieties, the row spacing should be 20-30 cm, and the distance between plants in a row after thinning (the removed plants are used for greens) is 15-20 cm. With this sowing pattern, dill begins to form a flower stalk only by mid-July.
