It thrives in light, well-drained, low-fertility soils but is sensitive to frost and intolerant of drought. Buckwheat’s dense canopy conserves moisture and prevents erosion, making it ideal for double cropping or use as green manure. Often included in pasture seed mixes to benefit the soil, buckwheat is a good source of fiber, lysine, and protein for livestock.
