Evaluation Of Five Lines Of Amaranth (Amaranthus Caudatus) In Three Locations Within The Imbabura Province, Lorena Marivel Dávila Pullas
Theses and Dissertations
The following lines of white-seeded amaranth were tested in three locations within the Imbabura province of Ecuador: Ecu-0113, Ecu-0014, Ecu-2210, Ecu-4737, and Ecu-4744. The three locations used were Caranqui, Urcuquí, and Pucará which are 2228, 2423, and 2513 meters above sea level respectively. The objectives of this study were: 1) to identify which of the five experimental amaranth lines respond best at each altitude, 2) to establish which of the three locations is most appropriate for cultivation, 3) to understand the vegetative period of the five lines in each location, 4) to analyze which of the five experimental lines possesses …

Adaptations Of Five Pale-Type Grain Amaranth Accessions (Amaranthus Caudatus) And Five Ataco Or Sangorache Accessions (Amaranthus Hybridus) In The Cities Of Otavalo And Antonio Ante, Sixto Stalin Tuston Torres
Theses and Dissertations
This study was conducted in two locations: Pucará (2,413m above sea level) and Mojandita (2,922m above sea level), both of which are found in the province of Imbabura, Ecuador. The objectives of this study were to: characterize the morphological and agronomic traits as well as the overall quality of the ten amaranth accessions in this study; identify the accessions with the highest yield and biomass; determine the nutritional characteristics of the experimental accessions; and determine the cost of production of amaranth per hectare. The following null hypothesis was assumed: the agronomic and nutritional characteristics of the ten accessions in this …

Effect Of Chemical Fertilization And Organic Amaranth (Amaranthus Caudatus L.) Var. Alegria Iniap Chaltura, Andrade Andrade Pablo Raúl
Theses and Dissertations
The present investigation was made in the Experimental Farm "La Pradera", located in the province of Imbabura, the parish of San José de Chaltura, to 1350 meters above sea level and an average temperature of 16, 4⁰ C. To analyze the effect of the chemical and organic fertilization in amaranth of variety INIAP "Alegría" was the primary target of the investigation. The field work was made in a lapse of 6 months. The design of complete blocks (DBCA) with 15 treatments was used at random and three repetitions by treatment. The experimental unit was 18 m². It was evaluated by …
