Each phase of their growth cycle is controlled by the farmers' careful attention, respecting the natural life cycles of the plant, using the ancient technique of green manuring (burying certain plants in order to maintain or increase soil fertility). This practice helps to maintain the purity of the soil and the health of the plant itself, while preserving local biodiversity.
