Quinoa mostly grows in mountainous areas above 3,000 meters above sea level. It is native to medium and high altitude mountainous areas such as Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. It grows best in plateaus or mountainous areas at an altitude of 3,000-4,000 meters.

Quinoa growth cycle

Quinoa prefers cool, sunny, and high-altitude areas with large temperature differences between day and night. The growing period of quinoa planted in different regions can differ by two to three months. The growing period in China is between 110 and 180 days.

Quinoa growth cycle management

The yield of quinoa per mu in Gansu can reach 500 to 800 kilograms, while in the south it is generally around 500 kilograms, which is not too high.

Temperature management: Quinoa should be planted in an environment with a temperature of 15 to 20 degrees in May. It is best to sow it after the rain. Avoid sowing it too early and avoid rainy days during the flowering period of millet.   

Fertilization management : Quinoa requires a one-time application of sufficient base fertilizer and topdressing of triple compound fertilizer. In the later stage of growth, phosphorus fertilizer and trace elements should be sprayed on the leaves to promote flowering, fruiting and grain filling.
