In Korea, common and Tartary buckwheat are cultivated mainly in spring and fall, however the available buckwheat varieties are still very limited. In this study, we have evaluated buckwheat germplasm for agronomic traits and compared flavonoids contents in different cultivation period and collection area. In common buckwheat, the number of days from sowing to flowering was 40 and 31 days and from sowing to maturity took 90 and 69 days in spring and fall cultivation, respectively. The number of nodes and branches were higher in spring cultivation while the hundred seed weight was higher in fall cultivation. The average flavonoids contents in common buckwheat were 0.20 ㎎/g dry weight (DW) and 0.40 ㎎/g DW in spring and fall cultivation, respectively. The highest flavonoids content was detected in Jeonnam accessions with 0.29 ㎎/g DW and 0.43 ㎎/g DW during spring and fall cultivation, respectively. The flavonoids contents were varied from 1.5 to 2.5 times according to the collection area. These results suggest that the agronomic traits and flavonoids contents were vary depending on the cultivation environment and germplasm collection area. Therefore, it is necessary to select the material by considering the characteristics of the germplasm for breeding of new varieties.

녹두 생육과 수량 및 flavonoids 생합성에 멀칭과 토양개량제의 효과를 구명하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 1. 녹두 흑색 polyethylene film 멀칭처리의 입모율은 98%, 경장은 61 cm, 개체장 협수는 15.1개로 무멀칭보다 각각 13%, 9 cm, 1.8개 많았다. 2. 녹두 멀칭처리의 수량은 243kg~cdot10a1로 무멀칭 176kg~cdot10a1보다 38% 많았으나, 종실의 vitexin과 isovitexin 생합성에는 효과가 없었다. 3. 토양개량제 중 표준시비+유박과 표준시비+광석분말 처리가 녹두 개체당 협수가 많고, 수량은 표준시비에 비해 표준시비+유박(119%), 표준시비+광석분말(115%) 순으로 많았다. 4. 표준시비에 유박과 광석분말 혼용은 녹두 vitexin과 isovitexin이 유의적으로 많아 이들 성분의 생합성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.
