Author(s): Kavya Pattar, P Venkappa, K Vishwanath, KB Palanna and K Muruli

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Zonal Agricultural Research Station (ZARS), UAS, GKVK, Bangalore during 2018-19, determination of physiological maturity stage in quinoa cv. 507740. The experiment was laid out in RCBD and replicated in three times with seven treatment combination,T1-30 days after anthesis, T2-35 days after anthesis, T3-40 days after anthesis, T4-45days after anthesis, T5-50 days after anthesis, T6-55 days after anthesis,T7-60 days after anthesis, The results revealed that among the treatments, T7-60 days after harvest recorded highest seed quality attributes viz., highest seed germination (72.00%), 1000 seed weight (3.35 g), seed moisture content (12.67%), seedling vigour index I (1012) and seedling vigour index II (1095). And assessment of dormancy had carried out, there is existence of dormancy period in freshly in harvested seeds of quinoa is about 21 days. As the days advanced dormancy decreased. Seeds could be used for sowing only after 21 days of harvesting.
