Abstract

In the structure of sowing cereals, buckwheat occupies the smallest area in Croatia. Due to high nutritional values, market needs for buckwheat are increasing. Global climate change indicates the need to select a sowing rate in order to achieve high yields of good quality. During 2019, field study was conducted on yield and quality of seed with different variants of the sowing rate. The following variants of sowing rate were used 88 kg/ha, 106 kg/ha, 124 kg/ha, 142 kg/ha and 160 kg/ha. The only domestic Croatian buckwheat population from the area of Varaždin was included in the study. The experiment was based on a random block at the CAAF - Center for Seed and Seedlings in Osijek (N 45°31´, E 18°40´) with five variants of sowing rate in four repetitions using standard buckwheat agrotechnics. The test results for yield (kg/ha) showed no statistical significant differences (n.s.) between the tested variants . The highest hectolitre mass (kg/hl) was achieved by the variant (142 kg/ha) which had the lowest seed yield. No statistically significant differences (n.s.) were found between the variants of sowing rate for the absolute mass (g). The aim of the study was to determine the impact of the most favorable sowing rate on seed yield and quality in the second planting, and the results of the study will positively contribute to solving the problem of choosing the sowing rate to ensure the best grain yields.
