Including drought-tolerant crops, such as quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), in rotation could benefit growers facing increased water shortages in the western United States. Yet, there are limited varieties available and varietal response to irrigation rate has not been described. To address this, a line-source irrigation trial was conducted with quinoa from commercially available sources and the breeding program at Washington State University. No seed was produced regardless of irrigation rate in either year or field location possibly because of high summer temperatures (pollen sterility or seed abortion) or seed damage from insect feeding (i.e. Lygus hesperus). A minimum of 23 to 42 cm total irrigation was required to produce maximum biomass in 2013. The impact of irrigation rate in 2014 was minimal because of high rainfall. Early season rainfall may be sufficient for quinoa production in this region; however, lack of seed set remains a critical limiting factor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
