THE INFLUENCE OF SOWING DATES, SEEDING RATES AND PLANTING METHODS ON THE ACCUMULATION OF DRY MASS IN BUCKWHEAT CULTIVATED AS A SECOND CROP

Abstract

This article presents data on the effect of sowing dates, seeding rates, and planting methods on the accumulation of dry mass in buckwheat cultivated as a second crop. It was observed that the dry mass per plant was higher in variants with single-row sowing across different sowing dates, ranging from 25.0 to 30.2 g/plant. Conversely, the dry mass yield per hectare was determined in variants with three-row sowing across all sowing dates, ranging from 42.6 to 50.8 q/ha. The highest accumulation of dry mass was observed in the variant sown on June 20 with a single-row method at a rate of 1 million seeds/ha. The accumulation of dry mass across development phases was as follows: 3.6 g/plant in the tillering phase, 8.9 g/plant in the panicle emergence phase, 13.2 g/plant in the flowering phase, and 30.2 g/plant in the fruit formation phase.
