Abstract:
Buckwheat is annual plant from the Polygonaceae family. It is very important food in human diet, especially in countries like Chins & Russia, with special emphasis on safe food produced in organic production. The grain is similar to corn bread wheat regarding nutrients and Nutritive value. The main objective of this to evaluate the buckwheat genotype on the basis of quality parameter. Eleven genotypes were purchased from ICAR-NBPGR, rest two were purchased from CSKHPK Himachal Pradesh and ICAR-NOFRI, Sikkim, Respectively. The genotypes were germinated in Genetics and Plant Breeding laboratory of SHUATS, Naini, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Two observations were taken on the 4th and 7th day respectively. Among all the genotypes IC-16553 was considered as best genotype in parameters like (germination %, speed of germination, root length, shoot length, seedling length, dry weight, fresh weight, vigour index Ⅰ & vigour index Ⅱ) of seed quantity.
