“…The greatest variability was recorded for yield plant -1 which could be used as selection criteria for crop improvement in Amaranthus tricolor L. Supporting evidences were given by Shuklaet al, (2005) and Celine et al, (2007) in amaranthus.…”

“…The highest range of variation was recorded for number of branches, length of leaf lamina, yield plant -1 , days to 50% bolting, plant height, incidence of leaf webber in amaranthus. Supporting evidences were given by Sathy (2006) and Celine et al, (2007) in amaranthus.…”

“…Variability in length of leaf lamina was observed by Celine et al, (2007) in a study of eighty nine accessions of amaranthus. The accessions Am 67 and Am 24 were had the maximum (21.1 cm) and the minimum (7.4 cm) length of leaf lamina accordingly.…”

“…Varalakshmi and Reddy (1994) studied 25 different lines of vegetable amaranthus and obtained mean values of 35.65 cm, 7.35 cm and 10.58 cm for plant height, leaf breadth and length respectively. Celine et al, (2007) screened eighty nine diverse accessions of amaranthus for resistance to leaf blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani. A. dubius and A. hypochondriacus were found free from incidence of leaf blight, A. tricolor showed varied levels of susceptibility.…”

“…Zippora et al [42], surveyed in Ghana and found incidence percentage of anthracnose ranging from 0 to 58.3% in amaranth, quite similar to our result. Celine et al [43] also reported high attack of Rhizoctonia solani on amaranth accessions. Tested amaranth accessions exhibited a diferent level of susceptibility for each diseases providing information about genotypes showing resistance against particular disease [44].…”

Amaranth is a nutritious traditional food and vegetable crop with incomparable health benefits. However, very little research has been carried out to study diversity of amaranth in Nepal. An experiment was conducted in the research field of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS) at Sundarbazar, Lamjung, Nepal, during 2021 growing season to assess twelve amaranth accessions based on agromorphological characters. Seed materials were collected from the Nepal Agriculture Genetic Resource Center (NAGRC), Khumaltar, and the experiment was conducted in alpha-lattice design with 3 replications. Early maturing accessions had inflorescence at 42.33 days while late maturing accessions were after 82 days. ANOVA test for quantitative traits revealed significant differences among the accessions for all traits studied except stem girth. Similarly, from frequency distribution of agromorphological characters, high variability was found in stem pigmentation, terminal inflorescence shape, inflorescence color, and seed color. Diversity indices (Shannon–Weaver diversity index and Simpson’s index of diversity) were also estimated in which inflorescence color, terminal inflorescence shape, seed color, stem pigmentation, leaf shape, branching index, and leaf pigmentation exhibited high variation confirming the presence of tremendous diversity in Amaranthus. Accessions NGRCO 6977, NGRCO 6969, and NGRCO 6871 had low disease incidence showing the potential of developing resistant varieties through précised breeding in the future. High yield attributing traits were possessed by accessions NGRCO 6977, CO 2435, NGRCO 6904, and CO 1239. Accession NGRCO 6977 was found superior among twelve accessions with highest grain yield and least disease occurrence which can further be evaluated in successive years as a promising variety in mid-hill region.
