Amaranth (Ultra-Early Ripening Variety) – Seeds for Grain and Silage

This amaranth variety is one of the fastest-maturing on the market, ensuring a stable harvest even in regions with short summers. It is an ideal choice for both industrial grain production and as a high-nutrient "starter" feed for livestock and poultry.

Key Advantages:

• Ultra-Early Vegetation: Full maturity cycle starting from just 70 days.

• Shatter-Resistant: Seeds stay firmly in the panicle, minimizing harvest loss and preventing unwanted "volunteer" growth (no "padalytsia").

• High Squalene Content: Contains up to 8% squalene in the oil—one of the highest rates for industrial varieties.

• Versatility: Perfect for green fodder conveyors, high-quality silage, or premium oil extraction.

 Technical Specifications

 Sowing Recommendations

Amaranth is a thermophilic crop. Sowing is recommended when the soil temperature reaches +12...15°C.

• Sowing Methods:

  • Wide-row (45 cm or 70 cm spacing).

  • Also thrives in high-density and solid seeding for biomass.

• Seeding Rate:

  • 45 cm row spacing — 2 kg/ha.

  • 70 cm row spacing — 1.5 kg/ha.

• Plant Density: Approximately 20 productive plants per linear meter.

• Sowing Depth: 1–2 cm (into well-compacted/rolled soil).

 Primary Uses

1. Livestock & Poultry: Used as a "starter feed." The green mass is exceptionally rich in protein and lysine, significantly boosting the growth rate of young animals.

2. Green Conveyor: Due to its rapid growth, it is essential for providing livestock with fresh green fodder during critical summer gaps.

3. Silage Production: High biomass yield allows for rapid and efficient filling of silage pits.

4. Food Industry: The white seeds are ideal for producing gluten-free amaranth flour, cereals, and dietary supplements.

 Seed Storage

• Moisture Content: After harvest, seeds must be dried to 10–12% moisture. At higher levels, amaranth seeds heat up quickly and lose germination capacity.

• Conditions: Store in dry, well-ventilated areas in paper or fabric breathable bags.

• Shelf Life: Maintains high germination rates for 3–4 years if stored correctly.

 Shipping & Delivery

• Processing: Orders are shipped on the same or the next business day.

• Delivery Services: Nova Poshta, Ukrposhta (1–3 days across Ukraine).

• Packaging: Secure moisture-resistant packaging to ensure seed integrity during transit.

Agronomist's Tip: While amaranth is highly drought-resistant, it grows slowly during the first 2–3 weeks. Ensure the fields are kept clear of weeds during this initial "slow-growth" phase to allow the crop to establish dominance.
