The study was conducted in agricultural research field at Noakhali Science and Technology University, Noakhali, Bangladesh during March 2021 to enhance the production of red amaranth (Amaranthus gangeticus cv: RM) by using urea fertilizer with gibberellic acid. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) comprising four treatments with three replications. The treatment combinations were T0 (Urea 0 kg ha-1 and 0 ppm GA3), T1 (Urea 200 kg ha-1), T2 (60 ppm GA3), T3 (Urea 200 kg ha-1 and 60 ppm GA3), respectively. The growth and yield characters of red amaranth showed significant variation for different treatments of urea and gibberellic acid. The maximum plant height (37.1 cm), leaf number (13.83), leaf breadth (4.8 cm), leaf length (8.0 cm), shoot diameter (0.583 cm), fresh plant weight (9.73 g), dry weight per plant (0.775 g), yield per hectare (15.58 t/ha) were measured from treatment T3 (urea fertilizer + gibberellic acid) at harvest (22 days after sowing). The maximum benefit cost ratio (BCR = 3.653) was recorded from treatment T3 (urea fertilizer + gibberellic acid). Thus, it is concluded that the combined application of urea fertilizer with gibberellic acid would be optimum for short term growth and better yield of red amaranth.

“…Exogenous application of GA3 elevated division, elongation and proliferation of shoot cells that accelerated the vegetative growth of the plants (Ayyub et al, 2013). Shoot diameter of red amaranth was significantly increased by the use of urea fertilizer (Miah et al, 2013).…”

“…It is rich in protein, ascorbic acid, riboflavin niacin, calcium, phosphorus, etc. (Miah et al 2013b). Nowadays, this crop is receiving attention from all over the world, and people suffering from anaemia are recommended to consume red amaranth by physicians (Olumakaiye 2011).…”

“…According to BBS (2020), Bangladesh has seen a general rise in the area under cultivation of red amaranth from the year 2017-2018, with the production amounting to 61,096 metric tonnes in 2019-2020. It is thereby playing a principal role in ensuring both nutrition and food security of the people (Miah et al 2013b).…”

A pot experiment was conducted at the Department of Soil, Water and Environment, University of Dhaka, from 10 January to 24 February 2021, to evaluate the growth parameters, biomass production, and nutrient uptake of red amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor L.) as influenced by different types of organic manures manufactured by companies, viz. ACI, Agro, Kazi, Mazim, McDonald, Naafco, Paragon and Sharib, and by 50% of recommended dose of NPK fertilizers. The experiment consisted of ten treatments with three replications each and was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). On the day of harvest, Naafco displayed the greatest number of leaves (10.67±2.31), the longest leaf length (8.60 ± 2.07 cm), and the largest leaf area (275.10±118.8 cm2 plant-1), whereas the highest plant height (24.53±3.27cm) and stem girth (24.53±3.27cm) were observed in McDonald. Conversely, Kazi exhibited the poorest performance in all aforementioned parameters. Both the highest fresh and dry weights (10.75±6.09 g plant-1 and 1.31±0.87 g plant-1 respectively) were recorded in Naafco treated plants, and the lowest weights in Kazi (1.98 g plant-1 and 0.23 g plant-1 respectively). The highest total nutrient content (NPKS and Fe) (46.02 mg plant-1) in plants was found in Naafco, while the lowest was in Kazi (3.96 mg plant-1). Judging from the results, Kazi treated plants consistently showed the lowest growth, biomass, and nutrient accumulation. J. Biodivers. Conserv. Bioresour. Manag. 2021, 7(2): 73-82

“…In Nigeria, it is one of the most important leafy vegetable grown due to its high nutritional significance. The leaves and stems of Amaranthus are rich in protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, riboflavin, niacin, sodium, iron and ascorbic acid (Miah et al, 2013). It is considerably higher in calcium, iron and phosphorus than most other leafy vegetables (Kachiguma1 et al, 2015).…”

Poultry manure (PM) is limited by large quantity required for large scale vegetable production, to avert this problem, integrating inorganic (urea) with organic (PM) fertilizers is recently been advocated. Hence, two field experiments were carried out in years 2016 and 2017 at Landmark University, Omu-Aran, Kwara State, Nigeria to evaluate the effects of sole and integrated applications of poultry manure (PM) and urea fertilizer (UF) on soil chemical properties, growth, yield and quality of green Amaranth (Amaranthus hybridus).The study was laid out in 2 × 4 × 4 factorial experiment with two years (2016 and 2017), four levels of PM (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg N/ha) and four levels of UF (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg N/ha) application. The sixteen treatment combinations were arranged in a randomized complete block design having four replications. Results showed that UF and PM alone or their integration improved soil organic matter (OM), N, P, K, Ca, Mg (urea alone did not increase OM, P and K significantly), yield and growth indices, minerals (urea alone only increased leaf N), moisture, fibre, protein, dry matter, ash and reduced fat content of Amaranthus leaves compared with the control. Although fresh plant weight /plot (yield), plant height, leaf N and moisture contents of Amaranthus increased up to 120 kg N/ha, for both sole UF and
