Grain Amaranth is a very versatile pseudo-cereal crop and grown in a wide range of agro-climatic conditions (temperature 20-40oC, elevation 500-2500m amsl and rainfall 800 mm to 1500 mm). The genus Amaranthus consists of approximately 60 species out of which about 18 species are occurring in India. There are three major grain producing Amaranthus species, A. caudatus, A. cruentus and A. hypocho...

As a leafy vegetable, Amaranthus can be harvested at different stages of plant growth, ranging from young seedlings to the late juvenile stage, but data on the changes in leaf nutritional value with plant age are scanty. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of growth temperature on Amaranthus leaf yield and nutritional quality at different stages of plant growth. Five species...
