Abstract This study evaluated the agronomic and yield performance of three buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) cultivars—Kitawase Soba, Hitachi Aki Soba, and Kumamoto Gensoba—under the Northern Mindanao Agricultural Crops and Livestock Research Complex, Dalwangan, Malaybalay City, Philippines. Buckwheat, a nutrient-rich pseudocereal, is gaining attention due to its high mineral content and health benefits, with increasing market demand globally. The research aimed to identify promising varieties adaptable to the local agroecological setting and assess the cost and return of cultivation. The trial was conducted from December 2023 to March 2024 on “adtuyon” clay soil at 800 masl. Standard cultural practices (organic and inorganic fertilization) were applied. Agronomic parameters, including plant height, number of seed clusters, seeds per plant, and seed weight, were measured alongside yield performance. Results showed that Kitawase Soba was the earliest maturing variety at 57 days and achieved the highest grain yield at 2.487 mtha-1, closely followed by Kumamoto Gensoba at 2.447 mtha-1 and Hitachi Aki Soba at 2.295 mtha-1. Also, it generated the highest net income per hectare, indicating its economic advantage. All three cultivars exhibited good adaptation to the local conditions with minimal pests and disease challenges. This study recommends Kitawase Soba and Kumamoto Gensoba as the most promising cultivars for commercial buckwheat production in the region. Further, multi-location trials are suggested to validate these findings. The results highlighted the potential of buckwheat as a viable crop for diversified farming systems, contributing to food security and augmenting rural income generation in Northern Mindanao.
