Rating and Depth of Seeding
Buckwheat is usually sown with a grain drill at the rate of 40 to 50 pounds of pure live seed per acre. Good stands help prevent lodging. Buckwheat does not tiller; each seed produces a single stem that branches toward the top as field space permits. The preferred seeding depth is 1 to 1.5 inches if there is adequate soil moisture for germination. Seeding deeper than 2 inches should be avoided.
