Title Of Article :
Effects of Different Sowing Dates on the Grain Yield and Some Yield Components of Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) Grown Under Mediterranean Climatic Conditions
Abstract :
This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of different sowing dates (1 March, 15 March, 1 April, 15 April, 1 May, 15 May) on the grain yield and some other yield characteristics of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) grown under Mediterranean ecological conditions of Bornova-Izmir during two years in 2012- 2013. Two years average results indicated that, sowing dates affected the growth and productivity of quinoa due to differences in temperature, precipitation and relative humidity over the year and there were significant differences among the sowing dates in terms of plant height, main inflorescence length and grain yield but not hectoliter weight. The highest grain yields were obtained when quinoa sown in the first half period of April being 2160 kg ha-1.
