The samples of amaranth with a high level of efficiency and adaptation to the conditions of Left-bank Forest-steppe of Ukraine have been selected as a result of the research. Among them the sample UJ5200055 that has shown high stable level of productivity of grain during 4 years and can be of interest in selection on efficiency has been determined as the best one.
