The Amaranthus species is cultivated as "pseudocereal" because of its rich contents in proteins, carbohydrates and greases, which could be compared with those of cereals. The experience intends to test the productivity of four sorts of Amaranthus sp., in order to integrate successfully within the agricultural technologies, such sorts as Amont, Golden Giant, Hopi Red Dye and Plenitude, in the climatic conditions from the TeiuÈ™ area, AlbaCounty. The Plenitude sort records the highest production increases, 1344,99 kg/ha, in irrigation conditions, whereas the Golden Giant sort, in irrigation conditions, records a decrease in production of 360,73kg/ha.
