Cómo Sembrar, Fertilizar y Cosechar Cultivos de Quinua - TvAgro por Juan Gonzalo Angel

Twitter @juangangel Program: FAC - APRIL 24, 2016 QUINOA PART 2.mp4 First and foremost, this is a cereal plant, and its seeds are rich in protein, making it a nutritious grain to plant. The protein is considered a "complete" protein, a rarity in the plant world. This makes quinoa a popular food among vegans and vegetarians. It's not in the same family as the more traditional grasses we grow as grains (such as wheat, oats, or barley), but it's nonetheless considered a cereal. And unlike grassy cereals, quinoa blooms with beautiful flowers before producing seeds. The flowers are usually dark red or purple and look like a large spike of clusters of small flowers at the top of the stem. Quinoa is an annual plant that prefers a cooler climate and is well-suited to northern areas. Summer temperatures should not exceed 30°C, or your plants will suffer. Harvested seeds can be used like many other grains, typically cooked and used alone in rice dishes or similar, or incorporated into any recipe. Quinoa is not typically started indoors until transplanting, but should only be planted in the garden once the soil has warmed to 15°C. This generally makes for an early spring sowing, around the time of the last frost. You should dig the soil beforehand to loosen the soil and kill early weeds. Quinoa grows slowly and may have trouble competing with fast-growing weeds, so it's best to remove any other growth in the garden before planting. Plant the seeds in rows, spacing them no more than 0.8 cm deep. Your final plants should be 25 to 35 cm apart, so you'll need to plant a few seeds in each spot. If you get more than one sprout, leave only the strongest. You can always sow along the entire row and thin it out. If any of your seeds don't sprout, you can replant them within the same week.
