Sažetak

Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) and tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) are because of their phenolic substances content resistant to grazing by animals, pests, diseases, UV radiation and unfavourable soil conditions. Buckwheat is sensitive to application of mineral fertilizers, especially nitrogen fertilizers. Buckwheat is as a semi-wild plant suitable for growing without pesticides and artificial mineral fertilisation. All these make buckwheat suitable for production of organically grown foods.
