to study yield and its relationships with yield components in 10 varieties of foxtail millet (kfm1 to kfm10), an experiment was carried out in safiabad agricultural research center in rcbd design with three replications for a period of three years (2003 to 2005). vegetative and reproductive characteristics of each cultivar were recordered during the growing seasons. three year results showed si...

The seed-borne mycoflora of sorghum and foxtail millet collected from different growing areas in South Korea were isolated and taxonomically identified using dry inspection, standard blotter and the agar plate method. We investigated the in vitro and in vivo germination rates of disinfected and non-disinfected seeds of sorghum and foxtail millet using sterilized and unsterilized soil. The perce...

in order to select and release of bastan a new cultivar of foxtail millet, after preliminary selections in small millet germplasm a research was carried during 1997-2003 in karaj, golestan and dezful. during these years production potential of 10 foxtail millet genotypes was determined in a randomized complete block design for 3 years. the different characteristics include, leaf size, stem diam...

Abstract Millets are important agricultural crops for arid regions due to short life span and their resistance to salinity and drought conditions. In Iran, three main species of millets including proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) are cultivated in Shouthern Khorasan province, eastern Iran. In order to assess inter-specific...

varietal crosses or selfed selections from planned crosses have not been widely used is that foxtail millet is one Foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.] is a largely selfof the most difficult species to cross-pollinate (Baltenpollinating species that is used as a warm-season annual in the USA. Nearly all cultivars of this species grown in the USA are selections sperger, 1996). The flo...

A study was carried out in the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Old Brahmaputra Flood Plains Soil (AEZ-9) during December 2001 to April 2002 to find out the effect of seed rates and NPK levels on dry matter accumulation and grain yield of foxtail millet (Setaria italica L. Beauv.). Four seed rates viz., 8,10,12, and 14 kg/ha and five levels of NPK ferti...

It is increasingly evident that new environmentally sustainable agricultural practices will be necessary to support an estimated human population of 9 billion by 2050. Considering the predicted climate change-associated events such as flooding, drought, increased temperatures, and increased soil salinity, it is critical to broaden our study and use of cereals and small grains. Millets offer sig...
