Breeding Amaranth for Biomass: Evaluating Dry Matter Content and Biomass Potential in Early and Late Maturing Genotypes

Amaranth (<i>Amaranthus</i> spp.) is a promising biomass crop for silage and biogas production. Under long-day conditions, it exhibits prolonged vegetative growth. To evaluate the breeding potential of amaranth for biomass production, we characterized phenotypic variation in biomass yiel...
