[Reporterre] - Alternative au quinoa, la cañahua gagne du terrain en Bolivie

En #Bolivie, l’agronome Trijidia Jimenez milite depuis 25 ans pour réhabiliter la #cañahua, un grain andin plus nutritif et résistant au #ChangementClimatique que son cousin le quinoa et dont la culture avait quasiment disparu.

Genetic test will help safeguard quinoa from downy mildew

Scientists have developed a diagnostic tool to identify #quinoa plants resistant to #DownyMildew, aiding breeders in creating resilient varieties. The tool also ensures quinoa seed shipments are disease-free, preventing outbreaks.

As quinoa's popularity rises, the tool offers insights into the pathogen's spread, enhancing management strategies for sustainable production.

The Cornwall UK crop in the 1980's that I referred to, we winnowed with 4 people, each at the corner of a large bed-sheet, tossing the seed high, during a light breeze. Mentioned mainly as a "grain" that can be harvested and processed without specialised machinery. The decorative flowers were also an incentive to try it. The downside is mainly that it is hard on delicate digestions - see the WP article. Lots of soaking, changing the water was our work-around; when the water no longer froths, the saponins are mostly leached out.

See #Quinoa, which is closely related. Both of the "Dock" family. As Q. is locally available as food and actually a bit cheaper than millet and I'm not so far from a region where it's commercially cultivated, I'll probably try that before amaranth, tho I've never grown it before.

#Quinoa. Die ersten Blätter werden gelb, die Samenstände zeigen erste schwarze Flecke. Zeit für die Ernte. Vermutlich wars für die Andenpflanze einen Tick zu warm und eine Spur zu feucht. Bevor mir alles verschimmelt, hol ich die Gartenschere. Es ist mein erstes Jahr, vorher hatte ich immer versucht, aus den Supermarkttüten ein paar Samen rauszufischen - diesmal also richtiges Saatgut und es scheint zu klappen.
