Red Amaranth prefers warm and humid climatic conditions, and its most suitable growth temperature range is 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. When choosing land for growing red amaranth, priority should be given to sites with ample sunlight, excellent drainage and rich soil. At the same time, in order to reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests, the planting area should be kept clean and sanitary and kept as far away from possible sources of pollution as possible. Let’s learn together which month is suitable for planting red amaranth? Which month is suitable for planting red amaranth? There are two common types of amaranth: green and red. Green amaranth has a stronger ability to adapt to high temperatures, so it grows particularly vigorously when planted in summer. In contrast, red amaranth is less tolerant of high temperatures and is usually recommended for planting in the cooler seasons of spring and fall. How to plant red amaranth Sowing: The sowing method of red amaranth is flexible, and you can choose row sowing or broadcast sowing, among which row sowing is more convenient for subsequent management. Before sowing, organic fertilizer and soil fertilizer should be applied as base fertilizer, then the land should be plowed and the surface of the bed should be leveled to make flat beds with a width of between 1 and 1.2 meters in preparation for sowing. Because amaranth seeds are small, the furrows should not be too deep when sowing in rows, about 1.5 cm is enough, so as not to affect seedling emergence. The recommended sowing rate per acre is 5 to 6 kg. After sowing, lightly cover with soil and water thoroughly. Seedlings will usually emerge within 3 to 5 days. Field management: After red amaranth emerges, it enters the routine field management stage. The soil needs to be kept moist but not too wet. In summer and autumn, water thoroughly about every three or four days. Red amaranth has a short growth cycle and usually does not require additional topdressing if there is sufficient base fertilizer. If the soil is poor, apply 5 to 10 kg of urea per acre to promote growth after the plant grows 2 to 3 true leaves. Pest and disease control: Red amaranth has fewer pests and diseases, and basically no pesticides are required, which is conducive to organic cultivation. Harvesting: When the red cabbage stalks grow to about 10 cm, you can start thinning them out and harvesting, but be careful not to plant them too densely. When the plant grows to about 30 cm, it can be pulled up by the roots and harvested for market. The above is an introduction to the planting time and method of red amaranth. You can use your own fields to plant it, but don’t plant it randomly.
