A climate with a temperature around 20-25 degrees Celsius is required. The humidity obtained by the crop is partially natural, taking into account the months in which it is sown. It does not require much moisture other than that present in the soil. It is able to withstand very adverse weather conditions, it adapts well to the cold, which has given the opportunity to promote its cultivation in central Europe and even in the province of Teruel.
As for the soil, as we have already mentioned, it is not a demanding crop. If you need deep soils to favor its root system and development, with good drainage. Irrigation must not be abundant, the rainfall in the months of sowing already provides the water it needs (even thriving in years with 400 mm). It would only be watered at the time of planting and if there was a drought.
