Buckwheat
Buckwheat adapts well to a variety of soils and climates. Northern climates are preferred, but this crop can also perform acceptably in warmer climates. Medium texture soils are best.
Buckwheat emerges 5 to 7 days after planting. It begins flowering about 5 weeks after planting, with full maturation taking place in approximately 75 to 90 days. |
