The most important and main sources of plant raw materials are the traditional kinds of grasses. However, not only they should be used for feed production. A certain value are high yielding, broad agro-ecological sustainability of non-traditional fodder plants. One such crop is a multi-purpose amaranth. The culture can afford in the short term to increase the productivity of forage production and significantly improve the quality of the feed. Amaranth was balanced protein with high content of lysine in it, a high yield of green mass and seeds, intensive growth, unpretentious to the soil, resistance to diseases, pests, drought and salt tolerance, which is important in dry conditions, the Trans-Volga region of Samara. Along with high yield and high protein in all phases of the growing season, amaranth is characterized by good otafest, which makes it indispensable in the flax and raw material conveyors. One of the reasons hindering the widespread introduction of amaranth in the production of and does not prevent it from fully realizing its potential is the imperfection of development of technology of cultivation and lack of proper equipment. In SSRI «Volga Science Research Institute of selection and seeds production of P. N. Konstantinov» as a result of years of research on the basis of agro-climatic conditions of the region and the biological features of plants developed theoretical and practical basis for the formation of highly productive agriculture amaranth in Samara-Volga region. In this article the complex of agrotechnical methods, allowing you to get a guaranteed in the arid conditions of the region the yield of green mass to 60 tons/ha of seeds to 2.5 tons/ha.amaranttechnologycultivationharvestrateseedingамаранттехнологиявозделываниеурожайнормавысев[Башинская, О.
