Production Efficiency and Total Protein Yield in Quinoa Grown under Water Stress

The increasing water scarcity affects the agricultural sector, and it is a significant constraining factor for crop production in many areas of the world. Water resource management and use related to crop productivity is the most important factor in many crops. Since consumer demands healthy food, t...
