Growth, Yield, Quality, and Phytochemical Behavior of Three Cultivars of Quinoa in Response to Moringa and Azolla Extracts under Organic Farming Conditions

Increased demand for quinoa as a functional food has resulted in more quinoa-growing areas and initiatives to increase grain production, particularly organic agriculture. Quinoa seeds are superfood with incredible nutritional benefits. They abundant secondary metabolites significant medicinal activity. This report was consequently performed investigate whether Azolla fliculoides (AE) or moringa leaf extract (MLE) foliar spray can be supplemented extracts enhance growth productivity under farming. Three cultivars, KVL–SRA2 (C1), Chipaya (C2), Q–37 (C3), were grown organically subjected spraying AE MLE at 20% ratio, well their combination (AE+MLE). Plant performance of the three cultivars significantly enhanced by applications compared control plants. The highest outputs obtained AE+MLE treatment, which increased seed yield about 29% untreated Seed quality exhibited marked response that superior this regard it showed higher protein, carbohydrates, saponine, tannins, phenolics, flavonoids content. C3-cultivar demonstrated productivity, levels other cultivars. Overall, current study indicated could pharmaceutical active ingredients farming conditions.
