Amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) as an alternative crop for sustainable food production: Phenolic acids and flavonoids with potential impact on its nutraceutical quality (2009, background): “As interest in amaranth cultivation has increased and breeders have produced a large number of new varieties adapted to different zones (Gimplinger et al., 2008; Henderson et al., 2000).”
The Potential for Utilizing the Seed Crop Amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) in East Africa as an Alternative Crop to Support Food Security and Climate Change Mitigation (2015, background): “In order to facilitate mechanical harvest and the reduction of seed losses, the focus should be on cultivation of short plants with thin stems and reduced branch number (Gimplinger et al. 2008).”
Effects of Management Practices on Quinoa Growth, Seed Yield, and Quality (2020, background): “Seed yield per plant decreased with increasing plant density due to the fierce competition for light and nutrients among individuals [34,52].”
