Editing Proso millet (section)

=== Seedbed and sowing ===
The seedbed should be finely crumbled as for [[sugar beet]] and [[rapeseed]].<ref name=Biohirse /> In Europe, proso millet is sowed between mid-April and the end of May. About {{ Convert | 500 | g/acre }} of seeds are required, which is roughly {{ Convert | 500 | /m2 | /acre }}. In [[organic farming]], this amount should be increased if a [[harrow (tool)|harrow]] weeder is used. For sowing, the usual sowing machines can be used similarly to how they are used for other crops such as wheat. A distance between the rows of {{ Convert | 16 to 25 | cm }} is recommended if the farmer uses an interrow [[cultivator]]. The sowing depth should be {{ Convert | 1.5 to 2 | cm }} in optimal soil or {{ Convert | 3 to 4 | cm }} in dry soil. Rolling of the ground after sowing is helpful for further cultivation.<ref name=Biohirse /> Cultivation in [[no-till farming]] systems is also possible and often practiced in the United States. Sowing then can be done two weeks later.<ref name="UNebraskaL"/>
