 Cenetic resource is an important wealth of any
region. Identification of genetic resources in
important plants and animal species and their
sustainable conservation and utilization assumes
paramount significance due to change in climate,
degradation of natural resources and loss of
habitat. In this context, ICAR-Central Coastal
Agricultural Research Institute has mega project on
Conservation and utilization of genetic resources in
the coastal region of India, which addresses the
issues in major crops of Goa and other coastal
regions of India.
Dr. EB Chakurkar In this endeavour, Institute has brought out
Director (Acting), many bulletins on the genetic resources available in
ICAR-CCARI, Coa
major crops of Goa and their utilization. This
bulletin is the outcome of intensive survey for
collection, conservation and evaluation of
amaranthus germplasm in the state of Goa. The
survey has resulted in identification of many
promising types in amaranthus for yield as well as
tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress. The whole
gamut of germplasm in amaranth accessions of Goa
is well depicted in the bulletin with salient features.
The details of collection sites as well as
geographical coordinates are provided for
planning future collection in vegetable amaranth.

I hope that this bulletin will serve as useful

database for further conservation and utilization. I
congratulate the authors for their efforts in bringing
out this important document for posterity.

W6. Genetic Resources in Amaranthus in Goa

Reference
 lntroduction
Amaranth is the most common and
important short duration leafY
vegetable crop grown throughout
India. The leaves and succulent stem
are consumed as vegetable and are rich
in iron, calcium, vitamin-A and C.
Amaranth leaves have nitrate and
oxalate levels similar to other green
leafy vegetables.
Amaranthus is an excellent leafY
vegetable due to following advantages
1,. They arevery fast growing leafy
vegetable croPs with an
extremely high Yield Potential,
the yield of leaves may go uP to
30 tonnes of fresh matter under
tropical climate in 30-40 daYs
from direct sowing.
2. Amaranthus is least suscePtible
to soil borne diseases unlike
other vegetable croPs/ easY to
cultivate for home/kitchen as
well as commercial cultivation.
3. Amaranthus are suitable as
intercrop with anY other
vegetablecroPs
4. It performs well on land
fertilized with fresh or PartlY
decomposed manure
Climate and Soil requirements
Amaranthus is widely distributed in
both tropical and sub-tropical regions
of World. Leaf amaranth is a warm
season crop adapted to hot humid
climatic conditions. It is grown
throughout the year in tropics and in
autumn, spring and summer seasons in
temperate regions. Most of the leaf
types are day neutral in habit but differ
in their day length requirements and
respond differently to changes in photo
and thermo-periodism. Grain types, A.
caudatus, A. cruentus and A' edulis are
short day sPecies while A'
hypochondriacus is a daY neutral.
Amaranth grows well in well drained
loam or sandy loam soil which is rich in
organic matter. The suitable pH is 5.5-
7.5 andred amaranthus requires bright
sunlight for colour develoPment-
Amaranthus varieties
Many varieties are available in
amaranthus types. Primarily the types
are named based on growth and
method of harvesting like pulling or
multicut Wpes. The following are the
varieties developed and released by
different institutes in India.

View of transplanted crop
Manures and Fertilizers
Amaranth is a heavy feeder and high
yielding crop. 20-25 tonnes of FyM and
50:25:20 kg NPK/ ha are recommended
as a basal dose Under pulling-out
method,20 kg N should be top -dressed
twice during subsequent pulling out of
seedling. For clipping varieties. A still
higher dose of 75:25:25 is
recommended. Apply N after every
clipping or cutting. Foliar spray of -1,%
urea or diluted cow urine at every
harvest is good for promoting further
growth and for high yield.

days old seedling, already raised in
nursery/ are transplanted in trenches at
20-25 x 10-15 cm spacing. Seed
requirement for transplanted crop is
only500 g/ha.
Irrigation
Grain amaranth is a drought tolerant
cropr but leaf amaranth requires
frequent irrigation to keep soil moist.
Frequency of irrigation depends on soil
and climatic conditions in the locality.
Under Goa condition., crop is irrigated
in alternate days.
Interculture
Amaranth is a short duration and
shallow rooted crop. provide light
hoeing to prevent soil crust formation
after irrigation and to keep soil loose.
Field also should be kept weed-free,
especially during initial stages.

Conclusion
Intensive surveys resulted in collection, conservation and evaluation of
thirty
seven accessions of red amaranthus along with few green as well
as intermediate
types fromGoa state. These accessions were evaluatedfor differentmorphological
method through
traits including colour value by calorimetric method and indirect
colour meter. Among the accessions evaluated, red amaranthus collection
from
Manora-Raia, Salcettl Taluk, South Goa District recorded higher yield
dutingrabi
season compared to other 36 red amaranthus collections from
the state of Goa and
Bhaii-T for
it is field tolerant to white rust and subsequently released as Goa Tambdi
the state of Goa. Other promising accessions aiz., Amar New-06,
Amar New-01-'
Amar-I7-97 and, Arflar-2:.-111- are being evaluated for consecutive seasons
for
and
yield and other traits. Further work on diversity analysis at molecular level
mineral profile of promising accessions are being planned for future crop
improvement in red amaranthus.
