Adaptation and Yield Potential of Different Quinoa Varieties in Van-Turkey Conditions

Abstract

The research was carried out in Van Y & uuml;z & uuml;nc & uuml; Y & imath;l University Field Crops Application area between 2020 and 2022 summer growing seasons according to a randomized complete block design with three replications in order to determine different quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) varieties and populations that can be grown under irrigated conditions in Van region and their important botanical and agronomic characteristics. In the study, nine quinoa varieties (Q-52, Rainbow, Read Head, Sandoval Mix, Cherry Vanilla, French Vanilla, Mint Vanilla, Oro de Valle, and Moqu-Arrochilla) and one genotype (Population China) were used. According to the results of the two-year study, significant differences were found in significant differences in terms of plant height, number of panicle branches, main panicle length, seed yield, biological yield, harvest index, 1000-grain weight, seed protein ratio. However, it was determined that there were no significant differences in terms of the number of days of growth, number of branches and hectoliter weight. The highest grain yield was obtained from the Mint Vanilla variety (3266.7 kg/ha) in 2021 and from the Sandoval Mix variety (2915.4 kg/ha) in 2022, and it was concluded that these varieties could be cultivated in the region.
