Abstract
The Amaranthus genotype species are cultivated as „pseudo cereals” because of their high content of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, comparable or even superior to cereals themselves. Testing of 12 varieties of Amaranthus sp. (Tab. 1), for the purpose of their integration in the agricultural technologies of Somesan Plateau, has been done on stagnic argic phaeozem, in the following climatic conditions: annual precipitations value of 523 mm and annual average temperature of 9.4°C. Statistical processing of seed production data shows significant positive results, compared to the experiments average (2530.36 kg/ha), for the varieties: Golden, Plenitude, Amont, Hopi Red Dye (with positive differences ranging between 18.97-196.81 kg/ha). The variance analysis of density factor showed very significant positive differences for all variants planted at 100000 plants/ha, the crop yield registered being higher with 307.03 kg/ha from the variants planted at 70000 plants/ha. Tab. 1 The influence of Amaranthus sp. variant on seed production yield obtained on stagnic argic phaeozem from Cluj-Napoca, 2008
