Abstract: The plantation of quinoa has just started in China and it is still in the stage of introduction and preliminary production so far. Most of the researches on quinoa have focused on variety breeding, cultivation mode and planting density etc., but the water management and fertilizer utilization were rarely reported.‘Tiaoli No.1’is a new quinoa variety which is cultivated by Tiaoshan Institute of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences, the effects of nitrogen application rate and ratio of base to topdressing on quinoa’s yield, economic characters and economic benefits are studied. The results show that the application of nitrogen fertilizer could significantly increase the yield of quinoa, and proper nitrogen application rate and ratio of base to topdressing are the important factors for high yielding of quinoa. The performance traits of quinoa plants are good, the yield and economic benefits are the highest when the nitrogen application rate is 60 kg/hm2 and ratio of base to topdressing is 1:2.
