Buckwheat Seed

Buckwheat Seed - Buckwheat produces an abundance of seed in 70-80 days which holds onto the stalk well after ripening. On average, the plant height is 2 to 4 feet. Buckwheat grows well in most any type of soil; poor, fertile, peat, sand, clay or loam. Buckwheat is not very shade tolerant and can germinate and grow at temperatures as low as 45 degrees F, but optimal growth occurs at or above 55 degrees F. It is very frost sensitive and does not survive even light frosts. Buckwheat has a low water requirement and does not do well in wet soils. Buckwheat is a great addition to spring and summer food plots for quail, doves, turkey, ducks, & deer. Buckwheat also serves as a great cover crop for gardens.Seed Rate: 35-50 lbs per acre; 3 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.Seed Depth: 1/2 - 1 inchFertilizer: 250 -300 lbs per acrePlanting Time: Spring-Summer pH: 5.5-6.5Life Span: 65-80 daysVariety: Mancan
