There are many varieties of amaranth planting, what are the good varieties for amaranth planting?

Amaranth is heat-tolerant but not cold-tolerant, the seeds are difficult to germinate below 10, the optimal growth temperature is 23-27, and it is easy to flower and produce seeds under high temperature and short day conditions. The soil requirements are not strict, and it is more drought tolerant, but the soil is fertile and has sufficient moisture, which grows fast, has high yield and good quality. Most of them are cultivated in greenhouses and small arches, and the spring sowing time is sown in April and May, and this season is mostly used to intercrop with melons, eggplant fruits and beans, or choose to mix with green leafy vegetables.

In each region, it can be sown in stages during the frost-free period and harvested one after another.

A green amaranth, green amaranth has Shangqiu green amaranth: this kind of amaranth grows strongly, the adult amaranth is about two meters high, the stem is thick, although it is green when young, the adult is purple-red, the leaves are about 4 decimeters long, the leaves are green, oval, the mesophyll is thick, tender, and the yield is high. 2. Green amaranth, the varieties planted in Shanghai are different in different places, and there are also varieties that are distinguished by leaf morphology, such as round-leaved varieties and sharp-leaved varieties.

Regardless of the variety, the elements it contains are similar, except that the purple-red amaranth anthocyanin content is a little higher.

The root system of amaranth is relatively developed and widely distributed, and it is difficult to recover after the taproot is damaged. Amaranth is mostly fed on young stems and leaves, and can also be specially cultivated for large stems for consumption. The stems are erect, thick, green or red.

The leaves are green, purplish-red, or green with purplish-red. The axillary and terminal leaves of the inflorescence are about 25 cm long and 14 cm wide. The leaves are entire, greenish-green, oblong.

The young petioles are pale green, then light red. The mesophyll is thick, tender and of good quality. It is a medium-ripe seed, with strong heat resistance and high yield, and generally produces more than 1,000 kg of net vegetables per mu of first stubble.

The most common amaranth is mainly green amaranth, which is a wild vegetable that can be found everywhere in the fields on both sides of the rural road, and many people go to pick the top tender parts to make delicious food, such as dumplings, pies, etc., which are very delicious. The other is the red amaranth sold in the vegetable market, which can be planted according to the local climate conditions, and the red amaranth with good cold resistance can be selected in winter and early spring, and the red amaranth with high resistance to diseases and pests can be selected in other seasons.

Sharp-leaved red amaranth. The petioles and stems are purple-red, and the leaves and stems are covered with short white hairs. The tender plant has slightly coarse flesh and more fiber, which is suitable for cooked food and has a unique flavor.

It has strong heat and drought tolerance, and weak cold tolerance, but it is slightly more cold-tolerant than round-leaved amaranth, and has stronger resistance to diseases and insects, and its growth rate is similar to that of large-leaved red amaranth.

In terms of growth, white amaranth is particularly fast, resistant to heat and moisture, and has a high yield! Farmers can grow more easily and reduce production costs!

Shanghai greens, which are my favorite variety, are also a greens that I often eat.

There are six varieties of amaranth, red amaranth, white amaranth, amaranth, purple amaranth, five-color amaranth, and amaranth. Amaranth and amaranth alba are mainly used for medicinal purposes.

Amaranth can be divided into 3 types according to the color of its leaves:

1) Green amaranth, also known as wild amaranth, has green leaves, strong heat resistance, and a hard texture.

2) Red amaranth, purplish-red leaves, medium heat tolerance, soft texture.

3) Amaranth, the edge of the leaf is green, the leaf vein is purplish-red, the heat tolerance is poor, and the texture is soft.

There are two types of green amaranth and red amaranth that we often consume. Amaranth is rich in vitamins, protein and dietary fiber, but the fat content is very low, which moistens the intestines, improves appetite, and is easy to be absorbed and utilized by the body. It can enhance the body's physique, improve immunity, and is one of the best choices on the table for people with long-term constipation, easy to get angry, and **.

Green amaranth grows a lot in a small park, and it grows luxuriantly in mid-June, and you can pick young stems and leaves to eat.

Amaranth flourishes in the park.

Today I'm going to pick some and eat them. The surface of amaranth is rough, and it is very difficult to clean, and if it is not clean, it will cause diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms. Therefore, it should be soaked in clean water for more than an hour, and then washed with running water until it is clean before eating.

Amaranth picked back.

This kind of green amaranth can be fried and eaten, and it can also be eaten cold or made into soup, which is very delicious.

In addition to wild amaranth and seed amaranth, there are many varieties of cultivated amaranth. According to the leaf shape, it can be divided into round leaf species and pointed leaf species. The round-leaved seed leaves are round or oval, the leaf surface is often shriveled, the growth is slow, the maturity period is late, but the yield is high, the quality is good, and the flowering and flowering are late.

The leaves of the pointed leaf are lanceolate or oblong-ovate, with a pointed apex, and the plant grows quickly and matures early, but the yield is low and the quality is poor. Amaranth is generally divided into three types: green amaranth, red amaranth, and colored amaranth according to the color of the leaves.

1) Green amaranth. The leaves and petioles are green or yellow-green, the leaf surface is flat, the plant height is about 30 cm, and the taste is harder than that of red amaranth and colored amaranth when eaten. It is highly heat-tolerant and suitable for spring and autumn cultivation.

Shanghai white rice amaranth: Shanghai farmhouse variety, leaves oval, apex obtuse round, leaf surface slightly wrinkled, leaves and petioles yellow-green, late ripening, strong heat resistance, suitable for spring sowing or autumn sowing.

Guangzhou Amaranth: Guangzhou farmhouse variety, the leaves are lanceolate with sharp apex, the edge is curled upwards into a spoon-shaped, the leaves are green, the petioles are greenish-white, and the cold and heat resistance is strong.

Nanjing fungus: Nanjing farmhouse variety, the leaves are small, oval, the leaves are dark green and black, and there are wrinkles.

2) Red amaranth. The leaves, petioles and stems are purplish-red. The plant height is less than 30 cm, the leaf surface is slightly wrinkled, and the mesophyll is thick. When eaten, the taste is softer than that of green amaranth, and the heat tolerance is medium. The growth period is 30 to 40 days, suitable for spring and autumn cultivation.

Chongqing Dahongpao: Chongqing peasant variety, the leaves are oval, the leaf surface is slightly wrinkled, waxy red, the back of the leaf is purple-red, and the petiole is light purple-red. Precocious and drought tolerant.

Kunming red amaranth: Kunming farmhouse variety, the stem is erect purplish-red, the branches are many, the leaves are ovate, the leaf surface is slightly wrinkled, and purple-red.

3) Amaranth. The stems are green, the leaf edges are green, the veins are purplish-red, or the upper or lower part of the leaf is inlaid with red or purplish-red patches, the leaf surface is slightly wrinkled, and the plant height is about 30 cm. It is early maturing and has strong cold tolerance, and is harvested in about 50 days for spring sowing and about 30 days for summer sowing.

Suitable for early spring cultivation.

Shanghai A. aspirata: Shanghai farmhouse variety, the leaves are long ovate, the apex is sharp, the leaf surface is slightly wrinkled, the leaf edge is green, the leaf veins are purple-red, the petiole is red with green, early maturity, and medium heat tolerance.

Guangzhou pointed leaf flower red amaranth: Guangzhou farmhouse variety, the leaves are long ovate, the apex is sharp, the leaf surface is flat, the leaf edge is green, the leaf veins are red, the petiole is red-green, early maturity, cold resistance.

1. What kind of dish?

1. Basic introduction: Amaranth is an annual herbaceous plant of the Amaranth family and Amaranth, with many other names, also known as the old and young, the old and the young, the wild goose, the corn cabbage, the water chestnut, the cold cabbage, the red amaranth, the thousand cabbage valley, etc., which are native to China, India and Southeast Asia and other countries and regions, and are widely distributed in China.

2. Morphological characteristics: The height of amaranth is about 80-150 cm, the stem is relatively stout, green or red, and often branched. The shape of the leaves is ovate or lanceolate, about 4-10 cm in length and 2-7 cm in width.

The flowers are spherical in clusters, and the individual bracts are ovate-lanceolate. After flowering, it can produce seeds, and the shape of the seeds is nearly round or obovate.

3. Good habits of growing wax: amaranth likes warmth, and the growth environment should be kept moist, which is a short-term vegetable, and the sunlight should not be too long.

4. Eating efficacy: The stems and leaves of amaranth can be used as vegetables for people to eat, which has some effects and is good for the human body.

Second, how to plant.

Amaranth can be sown and planted, the suitable time for planting is 3-4 months in spring, prepare the seeds, after the soil is organized, you can sow the seeds to the soil surface, and then cover with a thin layer of soil, pay attention to the maintenance and management methods, about 3-7 days can germinate.

Amaranth is a plant that can be planted from spring to autumn, it is planted in most areas of our country, generally speaking, it is possible to choose spring planting in places where the climate is suitable and the sunshine time is long, it is precisely because of the tender and relatively high yield of the quality that amaranth belongs to the temperature-loving, light-loving crops, there are many varieties, generally more than 10 can germinate, the most suitable growth temperature is between 20 and 30, the temperature is too high, too low will affect the growth. Amaranth has a wide range of soil adaptability and prefers alkaline soil.

Our family basically grows some every year, generally planting red amaranth, sometimes planting some white amaranth to feed pigs, when I was a child, I liked to fry and eat, put some garlic cloves, and dye the white rice red. There is also a way to eat, that is, after washing and flour to adjust well, add an appropriate amount of water to make it not thin or thick, because amaranth is too honey to collect, the air in the middle is not circulating, and the stem is too tender, so it will be like this, unless it is planted in the greenhouse, it will not encounter these, planting amaranth in the open air, the seed distance is slightly farther away, so that the way to plant amaranth, amaranth seedlings taste good, and can also resist heavy rain and sun.

Every farmer family grows amaranth every year. There are many varieties of amaranth, including willow leaf amaranth, round-leaved amaranth, large-leaved amaranth, and purple leaf amaranth, and some people call it red amaranth. It has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and dissipating, and is rich in carbohydrates, proteins, inorganic salts, vitamins and trace elements.

Land preparation and sowing: the seeds of amaranth are very small, the land preparation is as fine as possible, the land is watered thoroughly before the land preparation, the ground can enter the first application of base fertilizer, 2-3 tons of rotten farmhouse fertilizer and 50 kg of compound fertilizer per acre, deep rake leveling, make a flat furrow.

That is, when the outside temperature is stable above 15 degrees Celsius. In autumn, another crop can be planted. When sowing, it should be noted that amaranth seeds are smaller, smaller than sesame seeds, in order to ensure uniform sowing, you can press 5:5 with amaranth seeds and fine sand

1 mix, then spread. Amaranth still has certain requirements for soil, because amaranth is adapted to alkaline soil, so when planting, it is necessary to make deep ploughing and turning of the soil, and sprinkle organic fertilizer in the soil, which is conducive to the absorption of alkaline soil.

Amaranth planting more and more, the technical points of amaranth planting are first of all to choose a relatively flat place, drainage and irrigation is more convenient, and there are few weeds in the land, before sowing to water enough, about 10 days after sowing will germinate, according to the emergence of fertilizer added.

Amaranth seeds are soaked in cold water for 24 hours, and they need to be scrubbed several times during the soaking process to facilitate water absorption. In other seasons, it is cultivated by direct seeding. Amaranth should be planted on plots with few weeds, and amaranth prefers alkaline soil.

The seeds of amaranth are smaller, sowing with some fine sand or fine soil can make the sowing even, the spring can be slightly deeper, the summer should be shallow, shallow soil, and then suppressed, you can water, wait for the seedlings. In winter and early spring, cover with a thin layer of straw to moisturize, and then cover with a layer of plastic film to keep warm. Cover with sunscreen in summer.

Amaranth should be kept moist in winter and spring, watered with small water frequently, and watered once after the seedlings were poured.

Apply sufficient base fertilizer before sowing, apply 2-3 tons of rotten farmhouse fertilizer and 50 kg of compound fertilizer per mu, turn over the ground and prepare the land, amaranth seeds are very small, so the land preparation must be fine, and then make a flat furrow. Amaranth dried seeds are sown, raked flat after sowing, watered after stepping on the solid furrow surface, the temperature is low for about 10 days in spring to emerge, and the seedlings can emerge in 3-5 days of sowing in summer.

Amaranth itself is a wild vegetable and is also rich in nutrients such as iron, calcium, vitamins, etc. It is highly heat-tolerant, higher temperatures are conducive to its growth, and drought tolerance is stronger, but it is of higher quality under conditions of sufficient moisture.

Amaranth has a well-developed straight root system and is widely distributed. Stems erect and hypertrophied, green or purplish-red, adults up to more than 1 m high, few branches, leaves alternate, entire, apex pointed or obtusely rounded; The leaf shape is lanceolate and oblong-ovate. The leaf surface is smooth or shrivelled, yellow-green, green, purplish-red or purple between greens.

Amaranth prefers warmth, is heat-tolerant, and is not cold-tolerant. The suitable temperature of life is 23 27, the growth of plants below 20 is slow, the germination of seeds below 10 is difficult, the growth of plants is basically stopped, higher than 30, and the product quality deteriorates.

Clearing heat and detoxifying, moistening the intestines, the fiber is relatively coarse, there will be residues when chewing, and the taste is bitter, it belongs to the diamond-shaped shape, it is a relatively common wild vegetable, and so on.

Temperature requirements Amaranth prefers warm and moist climates and can tolerate high temperatures. Germination is slow at 10-12 degrees, faster germination at 14-16 degrees, and fastest germination at 22-24 degrees, but germination and emergence will be inhibited beyond 36 degrees. Amaranth can be cultivated from spring to autumn, and the spring sowing sprouts bloom late and are of tender quality; In summer and autumn, it is easier to sprout and flower, and the quality is poor; Generally speaking, the temperature is stable above 15 to sow seeds, and the open field can be sown in phases in March and October, and harvested in stages.

Amaranth varieties can be divided into round-leaved and pointy-leaved species. Acer-leaved species, such as Amaranth cantonensis, A. acuminata, A. acuminata, etc., have lanceolate or oblong-ovate leaves, apex pointed, rapid growth, early maturity, low yield, poor quality, and easy to sprout and flower.

Early spring amaranth can be used before the stubble of nightshade fruit crops in the field intercropping, increase benefits, amaranth is divided into round leaves and sharp leaves, generally in the average daily temperature of fifteen or six degrees can be planted, the planting method is generally sprinkled as good, the density is too large, the leaves become smaller, the plant is small, from early April to late May, it is advisable to choose red amaranth, big red pao and white rice amaranth, willow amaranth and other varieties, from early June to early August summer and autumn cultivation should choose more heat-resistant white rice amaranth, willow amaranth, red amaranth and other varieties.

There are two types of propagation methods: harvested, wild and cultivated. Artificial cultivation includes open-field cultivation and protected land cultivation. Open-field cultivation can be carried out in spring and autumn in the Yangtze River and Huanghuai regions, and is generally sown in autumn.

Land preparation and fertilization selection of flat terrain, fertile soil, convenient drainage and irrigation is not easy to waterlog, less weeds of the land, in early November deep ploughing 15 cm 20 cm, combined with deep ploughing per mu to apply 3000 kg of high-quality decomposed organic fertilizer, 25 kg of diammonium phosphate as base fertilizer.

Ploughing depth of 15-20 cm, and apply enough base fertilizer, base fertilizer should be based on rotten farmhouse fertilizer, one acre of land with 1500-2000 kg of rotted human manure, and then make a wide rice flat furrow, the furrow surface must be fine and level. Amaranth has well-developed straight roots, erect stems, thicker, green or red. Leaves green, purplish-red, or green and purplish-red.

The inflorescence is axillary and apical and spike-shaped. The seeds are extremely small, black and shiny, and fall off when ripe.
