Abstract
In this study, the effect of shallow and saline groundwater on the yield andparameters of quinoa in the greenhouse environment in two crop years 2018 and 2019 was investigated. The experiment was conducted in the form of factorial design of randomized complete blocks with 3 replications. The applied treatments included shallow (with depths of 0.6, 0.8 and 1.1 m) and saline (with salinity levels of 1,2, 6 and 10 decisiemens/meter of NaCl salt). The results showed that with the increase of water salinity from 1 to 10 decisiemens/meter and with the increase of the depth of the groundwater level, the percentage of groundwater contribution and the contribution of groundwater decreased significantly.

The percentage of underground water participation for different salinity levels of 1, 2, 6 and 10 decisiemens/m in the depths of the water table 0.6, 0.8 and 1.1 meters respectively (37.43, 55.51, 71.12), (35/84, 51.21, 66.68,), (32.57, 46.92, 60.1397) and (30.15, 43/03, 56.93) were obtained. the increase in salinity caused a decrease in biological yield and an increase in the depth of the ponding surface caused an increase in biological yield and grain yield.

The general results of the research showed that in none of the treatments, the water requirement of the plant was never provided by underground water in a hundred percent way, and a part of the water requirement of the plant was always supplied through irrigation during the growth period. It can also be said that the use of shallow and salty underground water resources (salinity less than 2 decisiemens/meter) in order to meet the water needs of the quinoa plant can reduce the amount of irrigation and contribute to the evaporation and transpiration of the plant
