Site requirements:
Widawa has low demands to soil quality, water supply and fertilization. Due to the extremely strong root system, it is resistant to stress related to an extreme climatic conditions during vegetation. Good tolerance to temporary drought. Tolerant to periodic excess of water. 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.
