Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Comparative performance of amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) genotypes grown under agro-climatic conditions of Konkan region” was carried out at College of Horticulture, Dapoli (MS), Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkon Krishi Vidyapeeth Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri during rabi-summer season in year 2021-2022. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with fifteen treatments as genotypes replicated thrice. During investigation, the analysis of variance revealed that all the characters for leafy purpose viz. growth parameters and yield and yield attributing characters varied significantly. While studying for the leafy purpose, genotypes T₃ (DPL-AS-3), T₅ (DPL-AS-5), T₆ (DPL-AS-6), T₈ (DPL-AS-8) and T₁₁ (DPL-AS-11) were recorded better performance with respect to growth, yield and yield attributing characters under Konkan agro-climatic conditions.
