Effect of Gibberellic Acid and Mechanical Scarification on the Germination and Seedling Stages of Willd. under Salt Stress.

Quinoa ( Willd.) is a facultative halophyte renowned for its importance in enhancing food security, and it supports forage production across diverse climatic regions. The objective of this study is to examine the impacts of multiple pre-treatment methods on seed (Titicaca cultivar) germination parameters, identify the optimum pre-treatment to diminish the consequence of salinity, and promote the productivity of this crop, especially in marginal environments.
