Abstract: In order to improve the quality of buckwheat sprouts and screen the cultivars with better nutritional quality and growth characteristics, five buckwheat cultivars including 'Xingnong Tianqiao No.1' 'Kulun Xiaoli' 'Kulun Kuqiao' 'Liuku 2081' and 'Weining Baihua' were selected as materials by measuring their growth indexes and quality indexes. The results showed that the morphological index, yield and nutritional performance of 'Weining Baihua' were better than other cultivars, with plant height of 14.74 cm, the stem diameter of 1.25 mm, the peeling rate of 88%, and the mass of 100 plants of 17.73 g, and with the contents of protein, crude fiber, iron, zinc, vitamin C and vitamin E of 99.6 g/kg, 16.28%, 34.02 mg/kg, 5.81 mg/kg, 364.97 μg/g and 11.76 μg/g, respectively. The nutritional quality performance of 'Kulun Kuqiao' was the second only to that of 'Weining Baihua' with the contents of crude protein, crude fiber, iron, zinc, vitamin C and vitamin E of 96.2 g/kg, 16.07%, 33.10 mg/kg, 5.49 mg/kg, 323.12 μg/g and 11.33 μg/g, respectively. In conclusion, the cultivars of 'Weining Baihua' and 'Kulun Kuqiao' were more suitable for sprout planting. |
