In addition to the morphometric indicators (dry and wet biomass, amount of leaves, weight, surface area) of amaranth (Amaranthus L.) growing wild in different ecological conditions (Kurdamir, Barda, and Tartar), the level of water quantity in root and above-ground organs was studied.

AZERTAC was informed about this by the Institute of Botany of the Ministry of Science and Education. It was reported that a decrease in dry biomass was observed in the root and above-ground organs of the amaranth plant collected from Barda and Tartar regions. Thus, compared to the control (Kurdamir), 97-98 percent of dry biomass was recorded in the roots, and 95-89 percent in the above-ground organs. A very slight decrease was observed in the amount of water in the root and above-ground organs of the plant compared to the control. It was 96-99.6 percent in Barda region and 86.8-92.2 percent in Tartar region.
