Maskal Teff prohibits off‑label pesticide use, desiccants, fungicides, and fumigants during growing, harvesting, storage, or processing. We use integrated pest management practices. Some conventionally grown teff may be treated with herbicide early in growth to control weeds, but our contracts strictly prohibit desiccants such as glyphosate (Round-Up).

Fertilizer use varies by soil composition, crop rotation, and cover cropping. Standard fertilizers may include nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients. Teff typically requires less fertilizer than common commodity crops.

Our farmers may also grow potatoes, alfalfa, wheat, barley, beets, onions, beans, and corn.

Conventional teff may use limited inputs such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients, and some herbicides can be applied early in growth to manage weeds. Maskal Teff prohibits the use of glyphosate (Round‑Up) and desiccants in both conventional and organic systems.

Teff has a shelf life of up to 24 months (about 2 years) under recommended storage conditions.
