Abstract Very little experimental data are available on buckwheat ( Fagopyrum sagittatum Gilib.) culture in North America. Therefore, to obtain information on the effect of row spacing and seeding rate a buckwheat cultivar, ‘Tokyo,’ and an experimental strain, CD 1370, were tested over a period of 4 years at two locations in Manitoba. Buckwheat was grown in rows 15, 30, and 45 cm apart at seeding rates varying from 22 to 60 kg/ha. The results indicate that varying row spacings and seeding rates did not affect appreciably the seed yields.
