abstract = "Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is considered as a very important agricultural crop due
to its nutritional value and tolerance to different stress factors. The aim of this study was to
investigate the differences in yield, the content of starch and protein in the seed of two
introduced genotypes of quinoa (Puno and Titicaca) and the possibility of their cultivation in
Serbian agroecological conditions. The experiment was carried out during the 2017 growing
season in the rain-fed condition in Subotica, Republic of Serbia. The seeds were sowed in the
first part of April. Sowing was done at a depth of 2 centimeters, the distance between the rows
was 50 cm and between the plants in the row 5 cm. The crops were harvested in the first half
of August when quinoa seeds were mature and the amount of moisture in seed was 12%. The
harvest of Puno and Titicaca seeds was made by hand. The content of crude proteins was
determined according to the Kjeldahl method, while for starch measurement the Ewers
polarimetric method was used. Obtained results showed that the yield of plants Titicaca
genotype (24.4 g/plant) was higher compared to the yield of plants Puno genotype (21.3
g/plant). Our results did not show significantly different values in protein content between the
seeds of Puno (14.1%) and Titicaca (14.0%). Also, the seeds of Titicaca and Puno contained
similar starch content (54.1 and 55.6%, respectively). These results indicate that both
investigation genotypes can be grown in Serbian agroecological conditions.",
