CALLE SILLO, Liliana; VARGAS MENA, Amalia; BONIFACIO FLORES, Alejandro  e  DEL CASTILLO GUTIERREZ, Carmen. Assessment of commercial characteristics in red quinua (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) in K'iphak'iphani, Province Ingavi - La Paz  . RIIARn [online]. 2016, vol.3, n.2, pp.207-213. ISSN 2409-1618.

Abstract The research was carried at the Research Center K'iphak'iphani Viacha, La Paz department, in order to evalúate the variables in the harvest and post-harvest of 12 lines of selected red quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) For its resistance to mildew (Peronospora variabilis). The objectives were to evalúate the quantitative variables in the harvest, determining their respective harvest Índex, to evalúate the hectoliter weight and its relation to grain size, to determine the categories of grain according to caliber and their proportions, to test seed quality in germination and evalúate the quality of the grain processed (expanded and laminated). The results of the quantitative variables showed statistical differences between lines, it was determined that at higher plant height there is better development and grain quality, the evaluated lines presented higher percentage of médium grain, however, the same ones that also present highly significant differences to processed, with good quality of grain for seed, characteristics that are attributed to the genetic material, which leads to establish technical criteria of evaluation in the process of field selection and differentiated use of varieties in the quinoa agroindustry.
