The Effect of Vermicompost Application on Growth and Water Relationships of Quinoa Plant under Salinity Stress Conditions

Abstract Background & Objective: Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an herbaceous spring-annual plant and a pseudocereal, belonging to the Chenopodiaceae, and have high nutritional value. Studies have shown that the use of organic fertilizers such as vermicompost can reduce the negative effec...

Experimental factors included vermicompost levels of 0 and 2%, and sodium chloride salinity levels of 1.06 (soil initial electrical conductivity), 5, 10, 20 and 30 dS.m-1.   Results: The results showed that the interaction between salinity and vermicompost was significant (p≤0.05) on all measured traits.
