Buckwheat Growth and Yield Data from Egyptian Field Trials

Supplementary tables from a field experiment comparing Common and Tartary buckwheat in Egypt. The dataset contains results from a three-factor factorial study conducted over two growing seasons (2018/19–2019/20) at two sites in northern Egypt. It was authored by Mohamed M. Hassona and published on figshare.

Use Cases

• Compare the performance of Common versus Tartary buckwheat based on vegetative and productivity traits.
• Analyze the impact of sowing date (mid-November, mid-January, mid-March) on crop yield.
• Evaluate genotype-by-environment interactions for buckwheat under contrasting soil and irrigation conditions.
• Model crop yield potential for buckwheat in Egyptian agroecosystems based on location and management factors.

Strengths

• Data originates from a structured three-factor factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates.
• Covers two distinct growing seasons (2018/19 and 2019/20) and two contrasting field sites in Egypt.
• Includes specific yield measurements, such as 947 ± 22 kg ha⁻¹ for Tartary buckwheat in one trial.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset's 22.3 KB size suggests a limited scope, likely containing summary or aggregated results rather than raw observations.
