Abstract

Among the minor cereals buckwheat is an important crop in feeding the mankind and animals to meet the ever increasing demand of rapidly expanding population of North East India. It is an important crop of the mountain regions at elevations above 1400 m amsl for grain and green leaves. In the higher Himalayas, up to 4500 m, this is the only crop which can be grown successfully. The harvesting period is not limited in Tartary (Tithey) buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) as compared to common (Mithey) buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum). The 'Mithey' type matures earlier than 'Tithey' type.
