A. Maliro 1 Kingsley Masamba 1 Patson C. Nalivata 1 Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Lilongwe, Malawi Chia has been reported to have wide nutrient and health benefits. Its nutrient composition has however been reported to be affected by genotype and environment in which it has been grown. This study therefore aimed at assessing the nutrient composition of the genotypes that are currently being grown in Malawi and the effects of environment on nutrient composition. Results showed that there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) among the genotypes within the trial site, however, the significant differences (p < .001) were observed across the environments. This affirms what other studies have reported. http://pubs.sciepub.com/jfnr/11/11/3/jfnr-11-11-3.pdf Chia Salvia hispanica L genotypes agro-ecological zones proteins fat content minerals
