dc.description.abstractAmaranth, being a nutrient-rich and climate resilient crop, can be a solution to improve nutritional quality and food security for increasing population. Aims of this study were to check the adaptability and yield potential of amaranth under semiarid climate conditions of Pakistan. This two-year field experiment was conducted at Directorate Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. Germplasm of amaranth (ten genotypes) was imported from USDA and grown under semiarid environment to compare their phenology, leaf biochemical analysis and yield attributes in order to access its adaptability. Significant variations were observed among the genotypes for yield related attributes, leaf chlorophyll contents and phenology. Among genotypes, maximum grain yield was produced by PI 642733 followed by PI 619265, PI 636194 and Ames 15204. This was linked with stay green character (more leaf chlorophyll contents) of genotypes for longer period, as depicted by more seed setting periods of high yielder genotypes. Genotypes completed seed setting between 112 to 128 days after emergence. Furthermore, seed protein contents ranged between 11.73 to 19%. Genotypes PI 642733, PI 619265, PI 636194 and Ames 15204 were found promising and recommended to be grown in Rabi crop season in Faisalabad conditions. Huge diversity observed in the germplasm of amaranth which opened new avenues for the selection and production of suitable germplasm under different agro-ecological zones of Pakistan.
