LIFAGO Buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum)

‘LIFAGO’ buckwheat’s vigorous growth provides the essential protective canopy from flea beetle quicker than standard buckwheat (‘Fagopyrum esculentum’) varieties. A lower thousand grain weight also provides a higher plant population from the comparable sowing rate.

• Provides a dense, protective canopy to disguise the oilseed rape plants
• Grows vigorously to suppress weeds
• Extremely susceptible to frost
• Scavenges phosphates from the soil
• Nectar-rich flowers provide food for pollinators
