Amaranth is considered a high plasticity crop, due to its tolerance to high temperatures and drought conditions. Among the species for grain production with high nutritional value, is Amaranthus caudatus, native to the Andes of South America and A. cruentus, native to Central America. Considering an approach to climate change and food security it is important to evaluate new alternative species with improved characteristics, that allow the increase of the harvested area and yield of this crop in our country. The objectives of this research were to: (1) determine phenological variation, from the time of occurrence (dds) and thermal time (°D) under La Molina conditions (2) to determine phenotypic variation, in morphological and agronomic characters, of mutant lines (3) identify lines with better agronomic performance, based on their earliness, yield, plant height and grain color. A DBCA with 24 mutant lines of A. cruentus accession Selection Huacho irradiated with gamma rays was used and as a reference control to evaluate performance, the commercial variety Centenario was used. The phenological phases of germination, vegetative development, branching, development of flower bud and inflorescence, flowering, anthesis, grain growth, grain filling, physiological maturity and harvest maturity were determined, with an average occurrence value of: 7.35, 51.9, 71.79, 84.32, 91.74, 101.35, 113.78, 119.54 and 125.04 (dds); respectively. The average thermal requirement of the 24 lines studied to complete the phenological phases were: 68.36, 507.15, 728.82, 876.52, 963.95, 1087.10, 1251.09, 1327.76 and 1403.31 degrees day (ºD); respectively. The mixed factor analysis (FAMD) showed that the first two dimensions explain 35.9% of the total variability, the variables petiole color (HCP), color of striae on the stem (TCE), presence of striae on the stem (TPE), color inflorescence (IC) and stem color (TC) show a higher correlation with the first and second dimension. The dendrogram obtained based on the analysis of 12 morphagronomic characters, shows the conformation of 10 different groups shows the variation in some characteristics such, as the presence and color of streaks on the stem, color of inflorescence and color of grain, product of mutations caused by gamma radiation. Finally, under La Molina conditions, the KACH3, KACH8, KACH11 and KACH14 mutant lines were those that showed the best agronomic performance and by grain color, the KACH6 and KACH19 lines stood out.
