ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted with three genotypes of Buckwheat-Himachal Local, Gurez Local and Kargil Local in a randomized block design at Mountain Agriculture Research and Extension Station Kargil. The results revealed that mean number of internodes (18), number of leaves (40), leaf length (4.3 cm), leaf width (4 cm), number of branches (18), 100-seed weight (4.2 g) and seed yield (9.9 g) was higher in Himachal Local as compared to all other genotypes. Further it was found that Himachal Local took minimum number of days (82) to maturity and thus better suited for cold arid conditions with short growing season.
Key words: Buckwheat, Genotypes, Cold Arid, Seed Yield
