Abstract

The livestock farming sector in Israel constitutes about 40% of the total agricultural production. Recently, quinoa has been evaluated worldwide as a high-quality fodder crop. The diverse abiotic stress resistance of quinoa to various harsh climate conditions in the Middle East, such as drought, heat and salinity, makes it an excellent candidate for local cultivation for both human consumption and livestock feed. This work examined the effect of different abiotic stress conditions on the germination of a quinoa cultivar suitable for fodder production. Our results indicated that, although quinoa seeds germination was affected by all the abiotic stresses examined, it was highly resistant to all those.
