Two large grain varieties, Miyazaki Ootsubu and Shinshu Oosobo, one medium grain variety, Hitachi Akisoba, and one small grain variety, Toyota No.1 were used to study the influences of sowing date, seeding rate, and plant spcing on the agronomic and yield characteristics of buckwheat grown as a fall crop in Changhua area of Taiwan. Experimental results indicated that judging by the yield performance, the proper sowing time for both large and medium grain varieties was around October 25, which was 20 days earlier than the conventional sowing time employed by the farmers. The most suitable seeding rate for obtaining the highest grain yield was different for varieties differing in grain size. The seeding rate of 90 kg/ha was recommended for large grain varieties, and 70 kg/ha for medium grain variety. On the other hand, the high planting density with spacing of 30 x 10 cm was best for the two large grain varieties, while the spacings of 30 x 10 cm and 35 x 10 cm, or the method of broadcasting were best suitable for medium and small grain varieties.
