Performance of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) in response to variable sowing time in low altitude conditions
Buckwheat found adaptable in low altitude of Multan, Pakistan under climatic conditions and genotype Japanese B + 0 IR-13 can be sown in early winter (1<sup>st</sup> week of November) while genotype Silverhull-24 in early spring (1<sup>st</sup> week of February). As this crop matures early (average 73 DAS) and therefore can be adjusted between autumn and spring sown crops i.e. Maize and sunflower. Buckwheat can be popularized as gluten free nutrient dense grain in this region.
