Abstract
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), is currently attracting worldwide attention because of its substantial nutritional value, is currently attracting worldwide attention. This study was conducted to evaluate the use of mycorrhizal and different concentrations of phosphorus fertilizer on phytochemical traits of Quinoa seed intercropped with Maize. The study was done separately in two Locations (Shahrood and Mayamey, Iran). Use of mycorrhizal (AMF) in two levels (unused and use of mycorrhizal), Cropping ratios (CR) have three levels (100, 75, and 50%), and Phosphorus fertilizer (P), has three levels (0, 50, and 100 kg ha-1). Results show the highest ash (4.43 %), Tartaric acid (13.39 %), Lactic acid (1.17 %), and Soluble carbohydrates (76.37%), were observed in Mayamey location by 50 % CR and use of 50 kg ha-1 P fertilizer and AMF inoculated in Mayamey location. The measured values were higher than the Shahrood location. Our findings showed that AMF display essential roles in optimizing plant strategies for phosphorus uptake and the efficient utilization of phosphorus in the intercropping system. Application of AMF in a 50 % ratio could be proposed to farmers as a friendly method to obtain favorable biochemical traits, mainly when using 50 kg ha-1 of P fertilizer. In general, the use of AMF inoculation and 50 kg p ha-1 in 50% CR has increased the biochemical traits of Quinoa seed.
