The research was conducted in a completely randomized block design with four replications in the field of Agricultural Application and Research Center of Igdir University in the 2015. The variance analysis results showed that the other parameters examined were significantly different (P≤0.01) among the genotypes, but crude protein in stem was found significant (P≤0.05). According to these results, the highest seed yield (412.03 kg da -1 ), harvest index (43.88%) and 1000-seed weight (2.65 g) were determined in Titicaca, earliness in Q-52 (140.75 days), biological yield in Sandoval Mix (1750.23 kg da -1 ) and the crude protein for seed in Population-China (14.75%). Consequently, it was revealed that all varieties examined can be cultivated for seed production in irrigated conditions and, especially Titicaca, Q-52, Moqu-Arrochilla and Mint Vanilla were determined as hopeful cultivars in terms of seed yield.

THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SOWING TIME AND HARVESTING STAGES ON THE HERBAGE YIELD AND QUALITY OF QUINOA (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.)

“…Quinoa is generally cultivated for its seeds which are utilized as human food. Thus, a great majority of agronomic studies conducted on the plant includes evaluations on seed performance (Geren et al, 2014;Kir and Temel, 2016;Kir and Temel, 2017;Tan and Temel, 2017a;Tan and Temel, 2018;Casini, 2019). In the studies carried out, it was revealed that seed performances were significantly affected by sowing and harvesting periods and, as a consequence, sowing or harvesting should be carried out at an early or late period (Risi and Galwey, 1991;Aguilar and Jacobsen, 2003;Munir, 2011;Geren et al, 2014).…”
