Increasing planting density can improve the yield of Tartary buckwheat.

ABSTRACT: Planting densities and nitrogen fertilizer application rates determine the yield of crops. Tartary buckwheat is a pseudocereal crop with great health care and development values. However, little is known about application of nitrogen fertilizer and planting density on the physiological characteristics of Tartary buckwheat. This study aims to clarify the effect of planting density on the senescence and yield of Tartary buckwheat under low nitrogen conditions. A 2-year field experiment was conducted on Tartary buckwheat (Jinqiao 2) to study the effects of different planting densities (8 × 10⁵, 10 × 10⁵, 12 × 10⁵, 14 × 10⁵, and 16 × 10⁵ plants·ha^-1) on the root morphology and activity, chlorophyll and malondialdehyde (MDA) cont
