The experiment was conducted in Field Experimentation Centre, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.) during Rabi season 2019-2020, in order to standardize the suitable spraying treatment of Quinoa (variety:- EC 507740). Different spraying treatment with control (Unspraying) were evaluated by screening 45 DAS and 60 DAS viz.,T0 – Control, T1 – Urea (2%) @ 45 DAS, T2 – DAP (2%) @ 45 DAS, T3 – Chitosan (0.5%) @ 45 DAS, T4 – Moringa Leaf Extract (3%) @ 45 DAS, T5 – Ascorbic Acid (50 ppm) @ 45 DAS, T6 – Salicylic Acid (10 ppm) @ 45 DAS, T7 – Urea (2%) @ 60 DAS, T8 – DAP (2%) @ 60 DAS, T9 – Chitosan (0.5%) @ 60 DAS, T10 – Moringa Leaf Extract (3%) @ 60 DAS, T11 – Ascorbic Acid (50 ppm) @ 60 DAS and T12 – Salicylic Acid (10 ppm) @ 60 DAS. It was found that all the spraying treatments showed significance difference with the control except speed of germination, days to anthesis and biological yield. Foliar application treatment increases the germinability and vigour of quinoa seeds, significantly in both lab and field condition. Spraying with Salicylic Acid 10 ppm @ 45 DAS followed by Chitosan 0.5 % @ 60 DAS, DAP 2% @ 45 DAS, Ascorbic Acid 50 ppm @ 60 DAS and Urea 2 % @ 60 DAS showed maximum increase in germin ability and vigour of quinoa seeds. Foliar application treatment on field and lab condition give best result in Salicylic Acid 10 ppm @ 45 DAS and found to be lowest in Control (untreated). These conclusions are based on the results of six months investigation and therefore further investigation is needed to arrive at valid recommendations. The treatments of quinoa crop with Ascorbic Acid is ecofriendly and economic in use.
