A Preliminary Study on the Effect of Different N and P Levels on the Grain Yield and Some Yield Characteristics of Amaranth (.Amaranthus mantegazzianus)
Abstract :
To evaluate the influence of different N and P levels on the productivity of I amaranth, a pot experiment under outdoor condition was conducted on a amaranth genotype (cv. Don Juan) with five nitrogen (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 kg-ha^1) and three phosphor levels (0, 50,100 kg-ha^1). Some traits tested in the experiment were plant height, harvest index and grain yield, crude protein content and weight of thousand grain. Results indicated that increasing N and P levels positively affected above mentioned traits compared to the control, and the highest grain yield for amaranth obtained from 100 kg P and 150 kg N application per hectare.
