Effect of soil moisture stress on the emergence, etablishment and productivity of Amaranthus (Amaranthus Cruentus L.)

Abstract: Dietary intake of vegetables is low in Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) compared to the world's average. This situation is worsened by low water availability for vegetable production especially in the dry season. However, amaranth which can be grown in the different agro-ecologies of Nigeria is a dual purpose crop with edible leaves and seeds rich in essential nutrients, minerals and proteins.
