Sweet buckwheat is a cross-pollinated crop with bisexual flowers and a low fruit set rate. Only 10-15% is the main factor of low yield. The way to increase the fruit set rate of sweet buckwheat is to create pollination conditions. Sweet buckwheat is an insect-pollinated flower crop, and insects can increase the pollination and fruiting rate of sweet buckwheat. According to a study by the Inner Mongolia Academy of Agricultural Sciences on the relationship between bee and insect pollination and buckwheat yield, under the same conditions, insect pollination can increase the number of grains per plant by 37.84 to 81.98% and the yield by 83.3 to 205.6%.

Therefore, beekeeping and releasing bees in buckwheat fields is not only an important yield-increasing measure to increase the number of solid grains, grains per plant, grain weight and yield of buckwheat, but also conducive to the development of beekeeping. It should be vigorously promoted in places with conditions. Bee-assisted pollination is carried out during the peak flowering period of buckwheat, 2 to 3 days before flowering, and 1 to 3 boxes of bees are placed per acre of buckwheat field.

In places where there are no conditions for releasing bees, artificial assisted pollination methods can also increase buckwheat yields. It is better to use ropes or long sticks to drive the flowers to assisted pollination. To avoid damaging the flower organs during assisted pollination, artificial assisted pollination should not be carried out when there is heavy dew, on rainy days, in the early morning before the stamens open, or in the evening. Buckwheat is a self-pollinating crop with 1,500 to 3,000 flowers and a fruit set rate of 40% to 60%. During the fertile and water-rich period, measures should be taken to limit its unlimited growth, promote dry matter accumulation, increase grain weight per plant, and obtain high-quality and high-yield.
