Caracterización Agro-Morfológica de la línea promisoria UTC 008 de Amaranto (amaranthus caudatus l.) en el Barrio Tigualo, Parroquia Panzaleo, Salcedo - Cotopaxi 2020.

The present research work was carried out in the Tigualo neighborhood located in the parish of Panzaleo, Salcedo - Cotopaxi, with the objective of determining the agro-morphological characteristics of the promising line of amaranth UTC-008, using morphological and agronomic descriptors to determine its phenology and agronomic behavior. Descriptive methodologies were used, in the field 10 plots (4m wide and 4m long) were implemented in each plot, three plants were selected in complete competition. To determine the characteristics, 15 morphological descriptors and 11 agronomic descriptors will be used, used by the Andean legumes and grains program of INIAP, the data was recorded in all development and post-harvest stages. As main results they presented a decumbent bearing, green stems and inflorescences and pink seeds. The inflorescence was differential and terminal, decumbent attitude and the panicle amarantiform. Days to harvest and yield were evaluated, in terms of precocity, it reached physiological maturity 140 days after sowing, characterizing it as precocious (160 days to harvest), in relation to the height of the plant, it presents an average of 137, 8 cm observing plants taller than 153 cm, the grain size was determined by taking 50 grains randomly and a diameter of 1.01 mm was obtained, the highest yield per plot was 3.69 Kg this promising line has a good attitude to use the seed for consumption and inflorescence as an ornamental, highlighting this quality for its plant structure
