A field experiment entitled “Performance of Amaranthus genotypes for growth, herbage yield and seed yield in Prayagraj Agro-Climatic condition” was carried out at research field, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, (Deemed-to-be University), Prayagraj, during the Kharif season of (2018-2019). Five plants were selected randomly from each plot and were tagged and maintained as observational plants for recording their growth and yield characters of Amaranthus. The Experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with 15 treatments and 3 replications. Results revealed that the maximum Seed yield (kg/ha) was observed in T10:Farmer variety (Tirupati) (17.58 kg/ha) influenced most of the characteristics significantly and recorded the highest values of plant height (35.10cm), number of leaves per plant (50.90), Number of branches per plant (4.40), leaf length (11.47 cm), Days to clipping (51.67), Days to first flowering (91.87), Days to first seed maturity (102.83), Spike length (13.23 cm²), Herbage yield per plant (77.89 g), Herbage yield per plot (2.94 kg), Herbage yield per ha (17.58 t/ha) and Seedyield per plant(6.07 g), per plot (42.47 g), per hectare (232.55kg/ha).
