Amaranthus is widely distributed in both tropical and sub tropical regions.
It is cultivated throughout the year in tropics and in autumn, spring and summer seasons in temperate regions.
Amaranth comes up well in well drained loamy soil rich in organic matter.

---|---|---|---|---|
2-3 weeks after sowing | Geoxol (Liq.) | 10 ml per liter of water | Soil Drenching | Improves soil properties and promotes root development |
3-4 weeks after sowing | PeakMAX | 2 ml per liter of water | Foliar Application | Reduces disease pressure Rejuvenates plant growth quickly |
3-4 weeks after sowing | Nutrin Combo | 1 ml per liter of water | Foliar Application | Optimizing nutritional status |
2 weeks before harvesting | Silixol OSA WP | 2 g / ml per liter of water | Foliar Application | Improves quality of leaves , reduces incidence of abiotic stress |
Deficiency of Iron | Nutrin Fe 12% | 650 g / hectare / application, if soil Fe (less than 4.5 ppm),repeat application is recommended based on deficiency. Suitable for foliar sprays for crops grown on all types of soil. | Foliar spray | Corrects Iron deficiency |
Deficiency of Iron | Nutrin Fe EDDHA 6% | 2.5-5.0 kg / hectare / application, if soil Fe (less than 4.5 ppm),repeat application is recommended based on deficiency. Suitable for calcerous soils with pH above 7.5 | Soil application | Corrects Iron deficiency |
Deficiency of Boron | Nutrin Boron 20% | 650 g / hectare / application, if soil Fe (less than 25 ppm),repeat application is recommended based on deficiency | Foliar spray | Corrects Boron deficiency |
