Growing Information:

Greens, Arugula

CULTURE: Arugula prefers a fertile, well-drained soil, with a pH range of 6.0-6.8 in full sun to part shade. Arugula does prefer cool conditions and is hardy enough to over-winter in many locations from late summer and early fall sowings. It is also well adapted for growing in cool greenhouses and high tunnels for winter production.
Direct seed 1/8" deep from early spring onward @ 30-50 seeds/ft. Germination should take 5-7 days. Keep soil moist to slow bolting. For a continual supply plant every 2-3 weeks until 1 month prior to first avg. frost date.
HARVEST: For bunching, cut just above soil level. For baby-leaf, clip leaves for cut-and-come-again. After plants flower, the leaves can still be used but taste is sharper. Flowers are also edible.
PEST CONTROL: Flea beetles can be controlled by covering the crop with floating row covers (see index) from the day of sowing. Prevent diseases with crop rotation and sanitation.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE: For salad types: 500'/oz., 8,000'/lb., 3.6 lb./acre in rows 18" apart. For wild types: 2,100'/oz., 34,240'/lb., 0.84 lb./acre in rows 18" apart.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/OZ.:

Wild: Avg. 107,000 seeds/oz, sows avg. 2100'@ 50 seeds/ft.
