Influence of humic and mineral fertilizers on amaranta productivity in the conditions of the Middle Volga region

Amaranth (Amaranthus L.) - culture, which today is able to significantly improve the state of Affairs in feed production. Amaranth surpasses all traditional grains and legumes in the collection of protein, amino acids, vitamins, macro-and microelements per unit of acreage. In 2017-2018, experiments were conducted in the Volga research INSTITUTE to assess the effect of HUMATE Balance on the growth, development and productivity of amaranth against the background of mineral fertilizers. The results obtained allow us to note the positive effect of fertilizing amaranth plants in the phase of sweeping with humic and mineral fertilizers. The use of ammonium sulfate (120 kg/ha) allowed to increase the yield of green mass by an average of 17.8%. The preparation HUMATE Balance when combined with the mineral fertilizer ammonium sulfate provided an increase in the seed yield of 33.1%.
