Performance Of Some Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) Genotypes Grown In Different Climate Conditions

摘要

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an alternative plant of which cultivation rapidly increases because ofits high nutritive value. Background studies should be conducted on the determination of quinoa cultivarsappropriate for different ecologies for its cultivation to become widespread in a healthy way. This study wasplanned to identify suitable quinoa cultivars in Erzurum and I?d?r provinces which demonstrate differentecological characteristics of the Eastern Anatolia Region. The study was conducted in 2015 and 2016 underirrigated conditions. The experiments were conducted with 10 genotypes in each location in a randomizedcomplete blocks design with four replications. The grain yield and some related characteristics were examinedin the study. The maturation time, grain yield and related characteristics of quinoa varied significantlydepending on genotypes and locations in the study. The earliest and most productive genotype is Q-52 and itproduced 979.8 kg ha-1 of seeds under Erzurum conditions and 3679.6 kg ha-1 of seeds under I?d?r conditions.According to the results of the study, quinoa is a risky product in Erzurum which has a high altitude.However, cultivars such as Q-52, Rainbow, Red Head and Mint Vanilla were found promising for I?d?rlocation.
