Grain amaranth is a highly nutritious pseudo-cereal with good adaptability to range of environmental conditions and potential be further cultivated in many areas the world. Although crop has adaptability, soil type can influence establishment production; thus, objective this study was evaluate how cultivar, sowing depth, affect emergence early growth grain amaranth. A pot experiment carried out...

Abstract. Betalains are natural pigments responsible for the colour of flowers, bracts, stems, and leaves genus Amaranthus, they bioactive compounds. Due to their great chemical diversity, determination confident identification betalains still challenges interest as colourants health benefit. By high-performance liquid chromatography (LC) coupled tandem mass spectrometry (MS), catalog in red am...

Amaranthus cruentus, an annual vegetable crop, is known to be highly productive under rain-fed conditions and during the dry season when supplied with water. However, for good water management, there is need to accurately quantify the water consumed by the crop. This paper investigates the water use and biomass yield of differentially irrigated Amaranthus cruentus at different developmental sta...

Grain amaranth is an emerging crop that produces seeds having high quality protein with balanced amino-acid content. However, production is restricted by agronomic limitations that result in yields that are lower than those normally produced by cereals. In this work, the use of five different rhizobacteria were explored as a strategy to promote growth and yields in Amaranthus hypochondriacus cv...

A water simulation model (WaSim) to simulate the growth and development of Amaranthus cruentus as well as the components of water balance for a typical sandy-clay-loam soil of Akure has been described. Dry season experiments were carried between January and March of 2005 and 2006. Amaranthus seeds were established on the field and three irrigation water managements were imposed on the crop to d...

Para definir su capacidad de producción grano e introducir al amaranto (Amaranthus spp.) como cultivo para el ciclo agrícola Otoño–Invierno (OI) en noreste México, Campo Experimental la Facultad Agronomía Universidad Autónoma Nuevo León, Marín N. L., se condujo un experimento bajo diseño bloques completos azar con arreglo parcelas divididas y dos repeticiones. Se probaron cuatro genotipos Amara...

Trials are currently being conducted in South Africa to establish Amaranthus cruentus as a new pseudocereal crop. During recent surveys, Fusarium species were associated with weevil damage A. fields. Preliminary studies showed that some of these grouped into two distinct clades within the F. fujikuroi complex. The aim this study was characterize isolates based on morphology and phylogeny transl...
