Abstract: Buckwheat is not commonly cultivated in Bangladesh because it is an ancient minor crop. Common buckwheat is familiar as a rabi season crop and is rarely cultivated in some areas of northern part in Bangladesh. Henceforth, organized research improvement has not been established yet on buckwheat and so research information about buckwheat breeding is very limited. Again no developed variety available in Bangladesh. The varieties which are being cultivated in farmer’s level are actually local cultivar. Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) started working on buckwheat with five genotype, since 2018 and collected from PGRC, BARI. Characterization, different yield trial in different regions of Bangladesh have been conducted for selection of promising genotype.
