THE EFFECT OF THE APPLICATION OF DIFFERENT RATE OF MINERAL FERTILIZERS ON THE YIELD OF AMARANTH
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effect of different mineral fertilizer rates (N, P, K) on seed yield of amaranth (Amaranthus spp.). The experiment was organized in 8 variants with red and white amaranth genotypes. The results showed that the application of mineral fertilizers at optimal rates significantly increases seed weight and yield. The red amaranth genotype responded more to mineral fertilizers than white amaranth. The most effective rate was N100P120K100. The results of the study provide recommendations for the rational use of mineral fertilizers in amaranth cultivation.
