Phenology and yield of chia (Salvia hispánica l.) varieties in the Monzón Huánuco district

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to evaluate the phenology and yield of two varieties of chia introduced in the Monzón valley; For this, the Completely Randomized Blocks Design (DBCA) was used with 2 treatments and 5 repetitions, analyzing with the ANDEVA statistical technique and Duncan's test at 5% and 1% significance. The variables evaluated were: Number of branches per plant, length of branches per plant, weight of grains per experimental net area, days of emergence, flowering, fruiting and harvest. The treatments were: T1 (white variety) and T2 (black variety). In the vegetative phase the variables days of emergence, flowering, fruiting and harvest did not show statistical significance while in the reproductive phase the weight of grains per experimental network area and the length of twigs per plant showed statistical significance, significant in terms of yield. ; surpassing on average the black variety with 1 940.4 kg / ha and the white variety with 1 720.8 kg / ha.
