Site requirements:
Cedron has high demands to soil quality and water supply. Under optimal water circumstances during the growing season and the absence of water stress Cedron sets a lot of starch, much more than the indicated average value. Fertilization should be adjusted to the planned direction of use and harvest date. An excess of nitrogen may extend vegetation of plants and may reduce the starch content.
