In order to improve the productivity and shorten the growth period of buckwheat in Taiwan, 9 varieties of Tatary buckwheat were introduced during 1997. In observation trials, the variety TCPS 1 showed superior agronomic traits and productivity to other varieties tested. A line Taichung No. 19 was selected through mass selection procedure and joined new lines comparison trials during 1999-2001. Due to the supreme agronomic performance and yield of this line, it was further put in new lines regional trials during 2002-2003. Cultivation method experiment, quality determination and pest resistant tests were subsequently conducted during 2003-2004. The line is early matured, high grain number per plant, can be planted in high density, and higher yield in consequence. The grain crude protein and crude fat of this line were also higher than the control. The line was approved and registered as Taichung No. 2 in December 20, 2005 to extend to farmers.
