Late-Season Buckwheat Planting
A buckwheat planting date trial was conducted at the Carrington Research Extension Center in 1994 and 1995. The varieties 'Mancan' and 'Manor' were planted at four dates: May 25 or 26, June 6, June 21 or 23, and July 6 (1994 only). Across years and varieties, seed yield averaged 1410, 960, and 810 pounds per acre with late May, early June, and late June plantings, respectively.
Seed yield across varieties in 1994 averaged 1435, 970, 865, and 705 pounds per acre with late May, early June, late June, and early July planting, respectively. The data indicates that seed yield may be satisfactory with late-planted buckwheat, but yield is substantially reduced (30 to 50 percent) compared to late-May planting and the crop is at risk if an early frost occurs.
