Research of antioxidant and phytostimulating activity of extracts of Fag-opyrum esculentum grown in the conditions of Primorsky Krai, Russia

It was found that F. esculentum plants, especially those with red and red-green stem colors, are a promising source of flavonoid compounds (up to 3%). Buckwheat extracts have high antioxidant activity, varying depending on the concentration in the range of 19.8-99.4%, and also have a positive effect on the F. esculentum root formation. Treatment of buckwheat plants grown in the conditions of the Primorsky Krai of the Russian Federation with F. esculentum extracts in plantings during the bud-formation period increases the accumula-tion of flavonoids in its fruits to 0.22%. Extracts of F. esculentum can be used in agriculture as natural sources of BAS for the phytostimulation of cultivated plants.
