In all cases the amaranth was always intercropped, most commonly as borders and dividing rows within fields. It grew in soil conditions from low to high N with medium levels most common. Andean peasant practice shows that amaranth can be successfully intercropped with corn and that it grows in a wide variety of soil conditions often with little effort. These characteristics make amaranth an attractive candidate for introduction to subsistence growers in various parts of the world. Stegmeier , W.D., B. Khaleeq, R.L. Vanderlip, and D.J. Andrews.
Research continues on yield, lodging resistance, and herbicides.
Sorghum planting, cultivating, and harvest machinery can readily be used to manage pearl millet. Khaleeq , B., W.D. Stegmeier, and R.L. Vanderlip. Stand establishment in relation to seedling mesocotyl and coleoptile length in pearl millet. Seeds were planted in greenhouse and field beds at 75 or 100 mm depths and compared to controls planted 37 or 50 mm deep. Dilday , R.H. 1990.
