| Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Wild) is a pseudo cereal, drought-resistant, and medicinally value able with a superior nutritional profile as compared to common cereals. It's obligatory to obtain the maximum yield of quinoa under rain-fed conditions with a well-adjusted quantity of nutrients. To evaluate nitrogen (N) levels viz 55 kg ha -1 , 65 kg ha -1 , 75 kg ha -1 , 85 kg ha -1 , and 95 kg ha -1 and seed priming techniques water soaking, K2HPO 4 , K2SO 4 , and CaSO4 (2%) seeds for half-day used to find out effects on yield of quinoa. The maximum plant height (66.133cm) and the number of branches (5.667) were with N 95 kg ha-1. Leaf area plan t-1 from 0 to N85 kg ha -1 was increased gradually but later on, decreased. Gradually the Dry matter formation increase with an increase in N level, but above 85 kg ha -1 dry matter formation was regressively declined. The highest dry matter accumulation and harvest index 66.6g plant-1 17.31% respectively were calculated with N 85 kg ha -1 . The highest crop growth rate (13.7 gm -2 day -1 ) was achieved with N 85 kg ha -1 . The highest 1000-grain weight (5.6 g) was measured with 85 kg ha -1 . The maximum grain yield (9.43g plant -1 ) was also recorded in N 85 kg ha -1 . Total biomass increased with N 85 kg ha -1 but decreased up to 85 kg ha -1 . Seed priming with K 2 SO 4 , 2% have harvest index (%), crop growth rate (g m -2 day -1 ), 1000 grain weight, and grain yield were relatively closer to the results of seeds primed with K 2 HPO 4 , 2% solution soaking of seed for 12 hours. Nitrogen 85 kg ha -1 and priming of seeds with CaSO 4 , were best for the growth and yield parameters in rain-fed agro ecological conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
