Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the ripening period, plant height, stem thickness, number of branch per plant, raceme ratio, seed yield, stem yield, biological yield, harvest index, 1000-seed weight, crude protein contents in stem and seed of different quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) variety and populations (Cherry Vanilla, French Vanilla, Mint Vanilla, Moqu-Arrochilla, Oro de Valle, Population-China, Q-52, Rainbow, Read Head, Sandoval Mix and Titicaca) cultivated under the non-irrigated conditions. The research was conducted in a completely randomized block design with four replications in the feld of Agricultural Application and Research Center of Igdir University in the 2015. In the result of research, all parameters examined except for crude protein in stem were found important. According to these results, the highest seed yield (210.03 kg da -1 ), harvest index (38.14%), 1000-seed weight (2.53 g) and earliness (124.75 days) were determined in Titicaca, biological yield in Oro de Valle (780.58 kg da -1 ) and the crude protein for seed in French Vanilla (14.64%). Consequently, it was revealed that all varieties examined can be cultivated for seed production in dry conditions and, especially Titicaca, Moqu-Arrochilla and Q-52 were determined as hopeful cultivars in terms of seed yield
