SHATTERING Shattering can cause serious losses in commercial grain production of amaranth (Fitterer et al. 1996). In Nebraska, amaranth grain is harvested after the plants are killed by frost and have dried. The predominant cultivar ‘Plainsman’ is favored partly because it maintains good stem strength after frost has killed it (Baltensperger et al. 1992), however, it does shatter (Fitterer et a...

Nutritional composition of some selected leafy vegetables grown in vertical gardening namely Anethum graveolens (Dill), Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek), Amaranth spp (Green Amaranth), cruentus (Red Amaranth) and Spinacia oleracea (Spinach) at their micro green stage were analyzed. The Vitamin C content the samples ranged from 14.66 to 80mg/100g, A was range 0.63-0.66μg/g Total Carotenoid ...

BACKGROUND Soil contamination by copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) is a widespread environmental problem. For phytoextraction to be successful and viable in environmental remediation, strategies that can improve plant uptake must be identified. In the present study we investigated the use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer as an efficient way to enhance accumulation of Cu and Pb from contaminated industrial so...

Physiological and psychological changes occurring during the menopause influence both symptomatology and sexuality. Drumstick (Moringa oleifera) and amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor) leafy vegetables which are rich in micronutrients are helpful. So, the study was designed to see the effect of supplementation of dried drumstick and amaranth leaves powder on menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal wom...

quality of protein fractions, according to cornell net carbohydrate and protein system (cncps), and digestibility coefficients, using tilley and terry procedure, of the fresh and ensiled amaranth (amaranthus hypochondriacus) forage were assessed. the concentration of crude protein (cp) and true protein (tp) in the fresh forage, were respectively 116 and 70 g/kg of dm. soluble protein (sp) and a...

In this study, the combustion properties of pellets produced from quinoa (C3 plant) and amaranth (C4 harvest residues were evaluated by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) Differential Thermogravimetry (DTG) methods. Pelletizing was carried out at 25% moisture content a material temperature 70 °C. 7.5% molasses used as adhesive. The heated 25 °C to 1000 in thermal analyzer tracking rate 10 min-1 N...

The thermal process of green amaranth leads to the partial or complete degradation chlorophyll pigments and loss colour due formation derivatives. This study aimed evaluate a stabilisation utilising metal ions obtain stable metal-chlorophyll derivative complexes. In this study, effects CuSO4 (0–240 ppm), ZnCl2 (0–1800 ppm) ions, pH (4–9), temperature (60–100 °C) on purees with constant time 15 ...

Greenhouse and laboratory studies were conducted to confirm and quantify glyphosate resistance, quantify pyrithiobac resistance, and investigate interaction between flumiclorac and glyphosate mixtures on control of Palmer amaranth from Mississippi. The GR50 (herbicide dose required to cause a 50% reduction in plant growth) values for two glyphosateresistant biotypes, C1B1 and T4B1, and a glypho...

Recently there has been a rediscovery of some ancient crops due to increased consumer demands for healthier diet with medicinal and therapeutic effects. One such crop is pseudocereal Amaranthus sp., which nutritionally more favourable than many widespread kinds cereal meets most the requirements modern diets. The incorporation amaranth species in food formulations would expand assortment produc...
