Microelement Content of Quinoa Varieties Cultivated Under the Soil and Climatic Conditions of The Khorezm Region

In the present study, the microelement composition of the seeds of five distinct quinoa varieties, cultivated within the specific soil and climatic conditions of the Khorezm region, was rigorously analysed. Utilising the X-ray fluorescence method, the concentrations of essential microelements, including iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), nickel (Ni), and iodine (J), were determined. The results of the analysis revealed statistically significant variations in the microelement content across the different quinoa varieties examined. Notably, the New-42 variety demonstrated superior concentrations of iron, copper, manganese, and silicon. Furthermore, the New-170 variety was found to possess a distinct advantage regarding its zinc content, while the New-36 variety exhibited the highest levels of iodine. These findings highlight the potential for selecting specific quinoa genotypes to address particular nutritional requirements and soil adaptation strategies.
