Narrative
The seeds are dark brown, flowers green, leaves green. The RRC class type is: African. It is early maturing. It is one of the shortest and earliest of the African grain type. Observations from the Rodale Research Center, 1988 Rodale Amaranth Germplasm Catalog. Emmaus, PA. As reported in the 1981 publication, this is an extreme dwarf with a tendency to completely dry down at maturity. The average maturity is 67 days after planting. It appears that RRC 1040 will need to be grown at an extremely high density if sufficient yields are to be had.
