Abstract
This study, mineral and heavy metal contents of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) newly imported foreign origin in our country were investigated. Buckwheat seeds cultivated at Konya ecological conditions at five different sowing dates and at different doses of fertilizer (0, 10 and 20 kg / da DAP-18-46) were obtained macro elements (Na, K, Ca, Mg and P), micro elements (Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn) and heavy metal (Al), were determined by ICP-OES. The analyses of mineral compositions in buckwheat seeds were determined using NMKL 161 method. It was determined that the amount of phosphorus (P) from macro nutrients in buckwheat seeds ranged from 1197-3778 ppm according to different sowing dates, and the amount of iron (Fe) from micro nutrients varied between 20.5-393.10 ppm. The amount of aluminum (Al) in heavy metals varied between 47.03-328.30 ppm. In this research, it was found that the seeds of the buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) grown at different planting dates and fertilizer doses show significant differences in mineral content.
