It is an early maturing variety with a plant height of 28 cm and a spread of 15-18 cm. Strong branching, oval leaves, green edges, red leaves, petioles 5 cm long. The plant size is moderate, not easy to age, stays fresh and tender for a long time, and has good commercial properties. The optimal temperature for amaranth growth is 20~30℃. The growth cycle is short and the growth rate is fast. Basically, one crop can grow in a month. It is cold-resistant, drought-resistant, moisture-resistant, and high-temperature resistant. It has very few pests. It is simple to plant and easy to manage, which greatly saves labor output. It has wide adaptability to soil. It only needs loose, fertile, well-breathable soil to facilitate its growth. But in order to make the taste softer, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied when preparing the soil. Applying more organic fertilizer and watering frequently can also make amaranth leaves tender and more marketable. Protected land cultivation can be planted all year round. The normal sowing time in the Yangtze River Basin is from April 5 to May 20. Live broadcast in batches in the wild can be done from February to August. The dosage of seeds per acre is 500g.

Amaranth should not be eaten together with crabs, because both are cold foods, which may hurt the spleen and stomach, increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, and may also cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. There are too many vegetables that can be sown after the beginning of autumn, including Chinese cabbage, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, spinach and other leafy vegetables. , as well as various root vegetables such as radish, carrot, kohlrabi, mustard greens, etc. With the development of vegetable varieties, the vegetables we can grow are no longer the common vegetables mentioned above. Today, we introduce two red vegetables, red cauliflower and amaranth. Colorful vegetables contain more anthocyanins and have relatively high nutritional value. These two red vegetables are particularly suitable for sowing in autumn. The planting method is simple. You only need to pay attention to two aspects. One is to select high-quality varieties, and the other is to cultivate and manage them according to their growth characteristics. The planting method is introduced in detail below. If you are interested, you may wish to plant some.

Red amaranth may be rarely seen, but many people should have seen wild green amaranth in the fields. They are all vegetables from the Amaranthaceae family. It can be said that the growth characteristics and planting methods are similar. It’s just that the amaranth we grow will not grow into such a large plant, and the planting is also very intensive. When the plant is about 20cm tall, it is uprooted, harvested and put on the market. Generally speaking, wild vegetables are easy to grow and amaranth seeds are easy to emerge. Cultivation and management are also simple. Variety selection: Red amaranth varieties include Xiaohong, Dahongpao and Quanyehong. Suitable environmental conditions and sowing period: Green amaranth has strong heat resistance and grows well in summer. Red amaranth has poor heat resistance and is generally planted in spring and autumn. Planting methods

Red amaranth can be drilled or broadcasted, and drilled sowing is easy to manage. Before sowing, apply organic fertilizer and soil miscellaneous fertilizer as base fertilizer, plow the ground, rake it flat, and make a 1-1.2m wide flat bed for sowing. Amaranth seeds are very small. You only need to make the furrow too deep. Otherwise, it will be difficult for seedlings to emerge if they are sown too deep. The seeding rate per acre is 5-6 kilograms. After sowing, level the soil and water. It will sprout in about 3-5 days. After the amaranth emerges, transfer to normal field management. Keep the soil dry and moist, water it thoroughly, and water it for about three or four days in summer and autumn. The growth cycle of red amaranth is very short. When sufficient base fertilizer is applied, top dressing is generally not required. If the soil is poor, after 2-3 true leaves have grown, 5-10 kilograms of urea can be applied per acre to promote plant growth. Amaranth has few pests and diseases, and no pesticides are sprayed in management, making it easy to grow organically.
