The Effects of Different Row Spacing And Intra-Row Spacing On Hay Yield and Some Yield Components of Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.)

This study was carried out in order to determine the effects of different row spacing (17.5, 35, 52.5 and 70 cm) and intra-row spacing (10, 20, 30 ve 40 cm) on plant height, stem diameter, herbage yield, dry matter ratio, dry matter yield, leaf ratio, stem ratio, bunch ratio, of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) plants grown under irrigation condition. The research was established according to a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications in the Melekli Research Station of the Agricultural Practice and Research Center of Igd？r University in 2017. The effects of row spacing on the parameters such as plant height, stem diameter, herbage yield, dry matter ratio, dry matter yield, leaf ratio, stem ratio, bunch ratio, of quinoa are significant. Effect of intra-row spacing on stem diameter, herbage yield, dry matter ratio and dry matter yield of quinoa were significant. For other research criteria, it has been determined that the effects of intra-row spacing changes will not be affected. In Igdir province, it was determined that it would be appropriate of sowing at 17.5 cm row spacing and 10 cm intra-row spacing of quinoa in order to highest herbage yield and dry matter yield. If the quinoa plants are sowing at 17.5 cm row spacing and 10 cm intra-row spacing, 8750.7 kg da-1 herbage yield and 2676.4 kg da-1 hay yield can be obtained
