Buckwheat yield and quality depend on genetic properties, environmental conditions, and cultural practices. [...]this study aimed to determine the effects of organomineral fertiliser on buckwheat yield and antioxidant activity in the environmental conditions of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Additionally, buckwheat flour has a higher fiber content than other cereals (Shruti et al., 2015). Because of buckwheat's positive impact on human health, buckwheat has recently grown in popularity in human nutrition. In this context, hypothesis of this study is that the applied organomineral fertiliser will increase buckwheat yield and antioxidant activity. [...]this work aims to influence of organomineral fertilisers on buckwheat yield and antioxidant activity in the environmental conditions of B&H. MATERIAL AND METHODS Experiment location Two field experiments (Kakanj and Butmir, B&H) (Figure 1) were conducted in 2019. Materials for analysis The total phenol content and antioxidant activity of leaves, flowers, and kernels is determined.
