Abstract:

In order to explore the cultivation methods of quinoa seedlings in southwest Zhejiang, Qingli 1 and Hongli were used as experimental materials to carry out comparative experiments on sowing date, cultivation mode and seed dosage. The results showed that quinoa seedlings could be cultivated with a seed rate of 1.5 g·m-2, and the sowing date after July should be Hongli. High temperature is the main limiting factor for the growth of quinoa seedlings in the local area, and quinoa seedlings prefer moist habitats, but heavy rainfall leads to root rot and dead seedlings, so it is advisable to choose a suitable cultivation mode according to the temperature and rainfall at the sowing date. Quinoa seedlings do not have high requirements for sunlight, but the facility cultivation mode is not suitable for shading and cooling. The main pest of quinoa seedlings is Spodoptera litura, which damages the stems and leaves of seedlings with larvae, which occurs from late June to September. Quinoa seedlings are prone to cataplexy in high temperature and high humidity seasons, which seriously affects the yield and quality of seedlings.

Key words: quinoa, sowing date, cultivation mode, sowing dosage, pests and diseases, agronomic character, yield
