Quinoa is a saline-tolerant crop and highly nutritious compared with rice, wheat, and oats. Quinoa cultivar EC507704 were used to check the performance of seed invigoration with organic treatments under different salinity levels current experiment was conducted in 2021 at the seed testing laboratory department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Naini Agriculture Institute, Prayagraj (U. P.). Experimentation was carried out by using Complete Randomized Design with four replications by using top of the paper method. The salinity levels were obtained by dissolving 0mM, 100mM, and 200mM NaCl in one liter of distilled water. Filter papers were supplied with a salt solution to place the treated seeds. The treatments used in this experiment are T0 distilled water as Control, T1 and T2 Seaweed 5% and 10%, T3,T4,T5 Panchagavya 4%,6% and 10%, T6,T7,T8 and T9 Beejamrutha 25%,50%,75% and 100%. The results indicated the superiority with the interaction of treatment and salinity of T9S0 Beejamrutha 100% in 0mM NaCl shows 92% in germination percentage, 3.60cm in shoot length, 6.85cm in root length, 10.45cm in seedling length, 0.25g in dry weight, 961.32 in Seedling vigour index compared with control. The better performance of Beejamrutha increases the seed quality parameters due to the presence of beneficial microorganisms, nutrients, and growth-inducing hormones.
