Abstract
During the period 2010-2011 about 2.113 million ha of buckwheat was sown
annually worldwide. Average yield of buckwheat during the monitored period was
913 kg ha-1. Areas and average yield have a rising tendency. The most significant
producers of buckwheat in the world are: China, Russia and Ukraine. In Serbia
buckwheat is produced on small areas.
The paper presents results of testing of four buckwheat varieties, produced on
plots of the Institute for crops and vegetables as follows: Novosadska, Godijevo,
Bamby and Češka. Analysis of average yield has shown that Novosadska variety
produced statistically significant higher yield (2626 kg ha-1) compared to the
other varieties tested (p <0.05).
From the results shown we can see that buckwheat yield in Serbia is significantly
higher compared with the world average yield, which tells us that this plant can
be successfully produced in our agro-ecological conditions of growing.
