Adaptation of three crops, amaranthus (Amaranthus hypochondriacus), quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) and Lupinus spp. (L. angustifolius, L. luteus, L. albus) in Hokkaido, Japan

Summary Some crops were reconsidered their benefits since the role of crop production was diversified and expanded in recent years. We investigated five speices of three crops, amaranthus (Amaranthus hypochondriacus), quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) and lupin (Lupinus. angustifolius, L. luteus, L. albus...

Summary:Summary Some crops were reconsidered their benefits since the role of crop production was diversified and expanded in recent years. We investigated five speices of three crops, amaranthus (Amaranthus hypochondriacus), quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) and lupin (Lupinus. angustifolius, L. luteus, L. albus), for adaptation in Hokkaido, Japan. Yield of the five crop speices in this study were 250.5kg/10a (A. hypochondriacus), 70.6kg/10a (C. quinoa), 36.2kg/10a (L. angustifolius), 21.2kg/10a (L. luteus) , and 139. 3kg/10a (L. albus), respectively. For the field observation, we recognized some desirable characteristics of each of the crops for cultivation in Hokkaido. Those are, logding tolerance (amaranthus), shortening of growing period and improvement of fertility (quinoa), and resistance for Fusarium wilt and nodulation (lupin).
