An investigation was conducted to determine the time of cultivating with examinating the seed germination, the growth and the chlorophyll content of Amaranthus viridis by sowing seed once a month through the year.
1. As sowing time was latter, the germination percentage of seed became higher and the number of days until emergence reduced more.
2. With sowing in any month, the plants flowered. The number of days untill flowering was shorter on sowing in July and August, and longer on sowing from late autumn to winter.
3. The growth and the number of leaves increased on sowing from May to July.
4. The dry weight of leaves was more on sowing from January to April.
5. The chlorophyll content was higher on sowing in July and August, when the growth was worse.
6. The yield of chlorophyll was more on sowing from January to April, when the dry weight of leaves was more.
