MANZANEDA DELGADO, Fernando. Evaluación agronómica de diez variedades de Quinua (Chenopodium quinoa Mill) en la Estación Experimental de Sapecho. Apthapi [online]. 2016, vol.2, n.1, pp. 31-36. ISSN 0102-0304.

Abtract: Among the Andean grains it is more versatile for consumption: whole grain, raw or roasted flour, flakes, grits and instant powder can be prepared in many ways, which translates into a huge amount of both traditional recipes and innovative . But under the soil and climatic conditions of the Alto Beni, on the plot of Sapecho Experimental Research Station of the Faculty of Agriculture, located in the province Sud Yungas department of La Paz, at an altitude 450 m.s.n.m. Among 15°32'de 67°23'de south latitude and west longitude. Geographically; It comprises the sub basins of the rivers Alto Beni, Boopi, Kaka, Inicua, and see Cotacajes with altitudes from 370 to 2000 m.s.n.m. (Somarriba, 2002; CUMAT / COTESU, 1987). The aim of this study was to evaluate the agronomic characteristics of 10 varieties of quinoa in addition to quantify the contribution of green matter or organic matter of the varieties of quinoa. The research was descriptive-type statistic through direct observation with periodic measurements as established (5, 15, 30 and 45 days). Very satisfactory yields It has in terms of production of green matter with the following results with increased production in the variety Aynoca 17.2 t ha-1 and it provides less organic matter is the variety Globuliformes with 14 t ha-1, an average of 15,15 t ha-1; the earliest variety is the Bethlehem 2000; 122 days and the Surumi and Kurmi take longer to reach physiological maturity of 131 days and on the maximum height of development you have to variety Aynoca with 128 cm and the minimum height reached is the Globuliforme range of 112 cm. Finally is part of a set of strategies applied in the use of agricultural management subsystem harness the potential of the plant for animal feed as green fodder, by-products of food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and others. Crop residues are also used to feed cattle, sheep, pigs, horses and birds.
