COMPARISION OF PRODUCTION OF BIOMASS EXCEPT ROOTS AND OF YIELD OF FOUR SPECIES OF AMARANTHUS - GRAIN TYPE
RUZICKOVA, K., HOLUBOVA, K.
Abstract
We started a two-year field trial located in the area
of CZU - Praha Suchdol, -which aimed to investigate yield potential of four
different species ofAmaranthus - grain type. The following characteristics were
in the centre of our interest - the yield, the time of start of main growing
phases, the density of plants, the height of plants and the production ofbiomass
except roots, in fresh state and as the dry matter. There was a great influence
of the climatic conditions during the test on each species, which were very
different during each season.
Key words:
Amaranthus, growing phases, biomass except roots
