Cultivation

Dill is primarily a summer crop of temperate climates; in the tropics it grows better at elevations from 200 - 2,000 metres. It is generally considered a long-day plant in terms of flower initiation, with a critical period of 11 - 14 hours, though some reports indicate that it is probably day-neutral - long-day conditions merely enhancing anthesis. The annual rainfall or water requirement (irrigation) ranges from 500 - 1,700mm.
