Abstract
Amaranths is mostly grown and consumed in the humid area of Oromiya, Benashangul Gumuz, Gambella and SNNPRS. However, amaranths is not popularized and commercialized in our country. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the yield, yield components and mineral compositions. The experiment was conducted at Assosa agricultural research center in 2018/2019 cropping seasons. The experiment was laid out in RCBD in three replications. Six genotypes of amaranths were evaluated. The analysis of variance showed that no significance difference (P>0.05) among genotypes in terms of yield components and yield. However, there were numerically difference among genotypes in terms of plant height, leaf yield and grain yield. The mineral compositions of genotypes were analyzed. The highest content of essential minerals required for human body was recorded by the genotype of 013/2015. So, tentatively we recommend that the genotype of 013/2015 had good essential minerals for the human body. In future further study should be done over locations and over years.
