Buckwheat is one of the most important alternative food crops it being a rich sources of protein and high nutritious value. The field experiment was conducted during rabi season in the year 2019-2020 at Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding Research farm, Naini Agriculture Institute, Prayagraj. With an objective to evaluate and identify suitable genotypes in Praygraj Agro-climatic conditions based on different quantitative and seed quality parameters. The field experiment conducted using randomized block design in field with 3 replications and complete randomized design in laboratory experiment with 4 replications. The results showed that among the 13 genotypes, EC-2018742 found to be promising genotype with 23.55 seeds infloresence-1 481.71 seed plant-1 and 725.55 g seed yield plot-1 maximum yield recorded of 17.64 q/ha, genotype EC-2018742 found to be vigorous among the 13 genotypes with high seed vigour indices were found suitable for cultivation in Prayagraj region.
