Hard wheat prefers deep and well-drained soils, from medium to heavy composition (e.g. clayey, loamy). Light soils are preferred especially in dry areas, while the high organic matter in the soil creates a predisposition to sloping. As for the chemical reaction of the soil, the crop is perfectly adapted to pH 6. Yields are reduced in soils with high salinity.

Nitrogen plays a key role in crop yield and quality. The total nitrogen requirements range from 12-16 kg per stremma. The most important aspect of successful nitrogen fertilization is targeted applications at the appropriate phenological stages. .

3 applications are proposed: 1st: 25% of the total amount in ammoniacal non-urate form, just before or at sowing. 2nd: 50 % of the total amount in ammoniacal non-urate form, from the end of the tillering to the culm elongation. 3rd: The remaining 25% in nitrate form, from the 2nd knee of the culm to the heading. The 3rd application is the most important for increasing protein. Sequential nitrogen fertilization is especially indicated in fertile soils to avoid sloping. .

Phosphorus is supplied to the cultivation during the basal fertilization at a rate of 3-4 kg per stremma. Potassium is recommended in quantities of 4-6 kg per stremma during basal fertilization. Since potassium accumulates in straw and returns to the field after harvesting, its application in many cases is not necessary except for light soils and not in the case of reed removal or burning. Foliar spraying with 20-20-20 fully water-soluble in combination with herbicides is also recommended.
