Effect of Different Salt (NaCl) Concentrations on The Grain Yield and Some Yield Components of Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.)
Abstract :
salt stress is one of the main abiotic factors limiting crop productivity on the world. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is an Andean plant showing a remarkable tolerance to abiotic stresses. This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of different salt concentrations (0-75-150-225-300-375 mM NaCl) on the grain yield and some yield characteristics of quinoa under controlled conditions in 2015. Traits tested in the experiment were plant height, number of branches, biomass yield, number of inflorescence, 1000 seed weight, harvest index, grain yield and crude protein content of grain. Results indicated that increasing salt levels negatively affected above mentioned traits compared to control, but thousand grain weights was not affected by salt.
