Productivity, cicle and plant height of the quinoa.

This work was aimed with the objective to evaluated quinoa genotypes in the Marechal Cândido Rondon, Parana State. It was sown eight varieties of quinoa, from the Genetic Improvement Program of Quinoa of the Unioeste, with three repetitions, in a total number of 24 parcels. The experimental units were constituted of four lines of 5 meters each and with a row spacing of 0.5 meter between each other resulting at 4 m 2 of utile area. The treatments during growing were made whenever they were necessary, with the use of manual weed, herbicides and fungicides. The assessed variables were a flowering date, maturity date, average height of ten plants per parcel and the productivity. The genotypes used in this experiment have cycle and height plants near recognized as satisfying for the production of quinoa in Marechal Cândido Rondon , and suggesting the need for selection for productivity. The genotypes Q10 -43, Q10 - 42, Q10 - 36 and Q10 - 09 showed yield potential to continue in evaluate in next trials , in order to select a cultivar adapted to the environmental conditions of Marechal Cândido Rondon .
