Abstract

Quinoa is a highly nutritious and gluten-free crop. In the context of climatechange, it is a good grain substitute crop. Due to inadequate precipitation and high temperatures around the flowering period, late seeding of quinoa stunted plants and lowyields in thedesert region ofMorocco(Rehamna). Short-cyclecultivarsshould besown early in order to maximise growth and yields. In order to learn more about how the sowing date affects quinoa growth, development, and yield, a field experiment was carried out in thesemi-arid regions in 2018-2019. The main aim of this research is to identify the best-fit sowing period.In order to evaluate Quinoa (Chenopodium Quinoa Willd) at various dates of sowing intervals in semi-arid regions of Telangana, a field experiment was carried out at Ghapur village during Rabi 2018–2019. Two sowing dates were used that is December 15th and December 1st. Quinoa showed greater growth, yield, and yield qualities on December15th when it was sown with 30 cm × 30 cm spacing, the dibbling sowing technique, RDF:100 kg N, 50 kg P2O5, 50 kg K2O ha-1.A significant difference in both seed yield and a delay in phenological phases, related to plant maturation and flowering.
