Abstract

Due to its high nutritional value and medicinal properties buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) has attracted increasing attention in recent years. This crop has a long history of cultivation in northwestern Croatia. There is special interest in growing buckwheat in organic cropping system. In recent years, interest on the production and consumption of buckwheat is growing, but the problem is the lack of appropriate seed material. Not a single variety of buckwheat is registered on the variety list of the Republic of Croatia, and the current production is based mainly on seeds of traditional cultivars (local populations) and on the import of foreign (mostly Slovenian) varieties by family farm owners. The aim of this paper is to inform the professional public about the impact of cropping systems and sowing dates on the morphological and agronomic traits of the traditional buckwheat cultivar Varaždinska. Based on the results of this research, no significant difference was found between the traditional cultivar in relation to foreign varieties in any of the measured morphological (plant height, number of branches per plant and number of inflorescences per plant) and agronomic (grain weight per plant and 1000 grain weight) traits. The cropping systems (conventional, organic) also did not significantly affect the average values of the measured morphological and agronomic traits, although a higher value of morphological traits in organic cropping system was found.
