Table 2.

Influence of osmotic and ionic factors on seed germination of Titicaca quinoa seeds in the presence of NaCl, KCl, MgCl₂, CaCl₂ and SW at LD_50max concentration. *Different letters in the same column denote significant differences among treatments (P ≤ 0.05). The values correspond to the average of five replicates.

Treatments	OE	TE (OE + IE) (%)	IE	IE/OE	IE/TE
NaCl	36^a	55	19^c	0.53^d	35^d
KCl	29^b	52	23^b	0.79^c	44^c
MgCl₂	27^b	54	27^b	1.0^b	50^b
CaCl₂	33^a	58	25^b	0.76^c	43^c
SW	20^c	60	40^a	2.0^a	67^a
