Can be used in a variety of ways with very late ripening
Vorteile:
ESQUIRE is versatile due to its very late maturity
Emerges rapidly and is leafy - quick ground cover and good weed suppression guaranteed
Dies out as soon as temperatures drop close to freezing point
Has a high carrying value and is often used in wild field mixtures
Absorbs organically bound phosphorus with its tufted root
Contains no bitter substances, unlike Tartary buckwheat, and is very palatable for wild grazing
Ideal mixing partner due to fast soil cover and weed suppression
Higher TCM than Tartary buckwheat: 25 - 35 g

Fertilization
Buckwheat has a good mineral assimilation capacity. Nitrogen mainly promotes leaf growth, which prolongs flowering, delays ripening and promotes storage fruit. Nitrogen fertilisation should be done in one application at sowing time with a maximum of 40 kg
