Growth and yield of chia (Salvia hispanica L.) in the Mediterranean and desert climates of Chile
Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) is a species with seeds that have high essential fatty acid content, which has encouraged increased crop production worldwide. However, the expansion of chia is limited because it is a photoperiod-sensitive plant adapted to areas without cold. The objective of the present...
