Research was carried out in the hill area of the Meridional Carpathians, in the Horezu Depression, on a typical eutricambosoil strongly levigated with a low acid reaction and a humus content of 2.43%. Results pointed out that the optimal sowing interval is September 10-20. Delaying sowing time until October 10-20 leads to a diminution of the production of over 800 kg/ha. Optimal sowing density was 550 g.g./m 2 . Protein content depending on the sowing period varied between 12.0 and 13.1%, and starch content varied between 56.1 and 59.1%.
