Researcher: unknown
Variety: Amaranth (Amarantus mangosanus)
Soil type: unknown
Experimental design: A small plot trial, using 30 m2 plots and three replicates, was conducted on edible ama- ranth to determine the effect of Vitazyme on crop yield. Three plots were treated with Vitazyme, and three were left untreated.
Fertilizer treatment: For 30 m2, 48kg of chicken manure, 2 kg of “thermophosphate”, and 2 kg of organic fertilizer mixed with N-P2O5-K2O fertilizer.
Vitazyme treatments: (1) a seed treatment of 10% Vitazyme by wetting the seeds and drying, repeated three times; (2) soil and foliar treatment of 3 ml in 3 liters of water, 7 days after planting; (3) foliar treatment of 3 ml in 3 liters of water, 14 days after seeding.
