Rate of Cross-Pollination at Different Isolation Distances between Grain Amaranth (<i>Amaranthus hypochondriacus</i> L.) and a Weedy Relative in Zimbabwe

Rate of Cross-Pollination at Different Isolation Distances between Grain Amaranth (<i>Amaranthus hypochondriacus</i> L.) and a Weedy Relative in Zimbabwe

The adoption of grain amaranth (<i>Amaranthus hypochondriacus</i> L.) as a climate-smart crop due to its hardiness and drought escape mechanisms in sub-Saharan Africa is under threat from the lack of pure seed due to contamination by weedy relatives, such as pigweed (<i>A. hybridus...
