ABSTRACT / SAŽETAK:

The buckwheat is a current plant due to its compliance with the demands of sustainable agriculture and the high standards of the modern population when it comes to food and dietary regimes. The aim of the work is to explain the influence of sowing densities on grain yield of common buckwheat and the existence of economic reasons for increasing the sowing density. So, 12 genotypes were examined, in 2 years and 3 sowing densities: 160, 120 and 80 kg grains m-2. Results showed there was not a significant difference between average grain yield reached by 120 and 160 kg grains m-2. Such result indicates economic viability of buckwheat growing.

KEYWORDS / KLJUČNE REČI:
