How to care for golden buckwheat

1. Fertilization

During the growing period of golden buckwheat, fertilizer is generally applied 2 to 3 times. The first fertilization is when the seedlings grow to 20 to 30 cm, using about 225-300 kg of urea per hectare. The second application is when the plants grow to 40-60 cm, approximately 75-150 kg of urea and 270-345 kg of potassium chloride per hectare. If the growth is found to be weak, foliar fertilizer should be applied before flowering.

2. Water

Golden buckwheat is particularly afraid of waterlogging and is relatively drought-resistant. During the rainy season, good drainage is required and watering is generally not necessary. In particularly dry seasons, water the plant in appropriate amounts according to actual conditions.

3. Weeding

During the seedling stage of golden buckwheat, weeds should be removed frequently, and it is best to loosen the soil to facilitate the growth of the seedlings. After ridge closing, try not to do routine weeding, but you can remove the larger weeds manually.
