Mojica, Rachelle Dulce, "ADAPTABILITY OF SEVEN AMARANTH (Amaranthus sp.) ACCESSIONS IN UPLAND CAVITE". B.S Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Biology major in General Bioloy, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. Adviser: Prof. Analita dM. Magsino.
The adaptability of seven amaranth accessions under upland Cavite conditions was evaluated. The amaranth accessions include:, Accl-Ama16, Acc2Ama 18, Acc3-Ama18, Acc 3-Ama 20, Acc 4-Ama 22, Acc5-Ama 24, Acc6-Ama25 and Acc7-Ama 37.
The seven accessions varied significantly in quantitative parameters measured. Plant height of the seven accessions ranged from 30.04 cm to 49.00 cm. Canopy width ranged from 32.13 cm to 53.29 cm. while average number of shoots per plant ranged from 10.33 to 13.42. Total edible yield per plant ranged from 36.92 g to 42.92 g.
All the accessions tested were adapted in Cavite. Acc 6-Ama 25 was considered the most promising with respect to height, canopy width and number of shoots. Its edible yield was also comparable to other accessions tested.
