Teff can be planted in late May similar to millets. Late plantings have
the advantage to control emerged weeds by tillage prior to planting,
which can be significant since teff is a poor competitor with weeds
during the early growth stages. Seedbed should be firm and prepared
similar to planting for alfalfa. Seeding rates are 4.5 to 9.0 kg/ha. Teff should be seeded 12–15 mm deep either broadcast or in
narrow rows. Teff germinates rapidly, and the broadcast and narrow row
seeding allow for stronger weed competition.
