Proso millet is also a poor fodder due to its low leaf-to-stem ratio and a possible irritant effect due to its hairy stem. Atrazine at the
use rates found in proso (less than 0.5 kg/ha) is seldom an environmental
problem in dryland areas with more than 20 m to the water table. The tiny Proso millet seeds are packed with important nutrients and provides about 350 calories per 100 grams. The highest rate of
germinations is between 35° and 40°C (Theisen et al. Ber. ADVERTISEMENT. They all have fairly open panicles and suffer from lodging and seed
shattering. The protein content of these millets (11.6%) is similar to that of wheat. 1972. Thesis. ), New crops. Its planting has been mentioned
in Chinese records as early as 2700 BC (Vinall 1924). Red-seeded proso has some demand, but probably is best grown
away from the usual production areas and with a contract or specific market
identified. The stem is
terminated by a drooping panicle 10 to 45 cm long that may be open or compact
(Hulse et al. 2. Alternative
strategies to grow no-till proso require several applications of alternative
herbicides. Agron. Proso is still extensively
cultivated in India, China, Russia, in the Middle East including Iran, Iraq,

China (Malm and Rachie 1971). No-till systems were becoming
dominant in the High Plains prior to proso being dropped from the atrazine
label. If a full year of fallow precedes the millet,
fertilizer is not generally recommended except on the poorest soils (soil test
with less than 25 ppm in upper 0.5 m). (1975) investigated various millet mixes in human
diets and discussed their potential. Crop Sci. The presence of iron and calcium in this millet helps in strengthening immunity. Univ. 7:454-458. Millets may have been consumed by humans for about 7,000 years and potentially had "a pivotal role in the rise of multi-crop agriculture and settled farming societies." Proso millet contains a high level of methionine and cystine and therefore is nutritionally equivalent or superior to maize, rice, wheat, rice and sorghum where these vital amino acids are deficient or low. Hyderabad. The genus Panicum is
poorly represented in drier tropics, apart from a few more or less xerophytic
species (Cobley 1976). 1982a. Growth and development of foxtail millet is well described by Malm and Rachie

Proso millet has a very long planting period and it is often used for replacing
dead winter crops or unsuccessful early spring crops. Proso plants generally mature between 60-90 days after planting and can be
grown successfully in poor soil and hot dry weather. Eleusine coracana, known as finger or African millet, is the only
species of economic importance in the tribe Chlorideae. Econ. Physiological maturity proceeds from top to bottom of the
panicle. Ripening is not uniform throughout the panicle in proso. Agrobiologiya
2:28-43. Cardenas, A., L. Nelson, and R. Neild. The turkey poults were significantly heavier at the end of the 28 day feeding
period with proso than those on either corn or sorghum diets. The vegetative phase covers the period from germination to panicle
initiation, depending on the cultivar used and climate in the area, may be
completed 16 to 20 days after planting. While adapted
cultivars of foxtail are not seriously impacted by the disease, the crop serves
as an over-summering host and adjacent wheat fields are frequently severely
impacted. 1964. Lyon, and D.D. Proso currently has an upper
yield plateau around 5 t/ha because of a lack of straw strength. Individual
Crop Reports. 24:383. 52:655-657. New Delhi. 1972. 1995a). First, wheat
has taken a considerable amount of moisture from the soil profile; second,
decaying wheat residue interferes with proso growth; and third, residual

Description. Sorghum (noun) A cereal, Sorghum bicolor (syn. The cultivation of proso is more generally
thought to come from central and eastern Asia and spread to India, Russia, the
Middle East, and Europe (Roshevits 1980). The ripening of the seed is not uniform throughout the panicle and
delay in harvesting may cause losses due to shattering (Theisen et al. 40:90-93. 95:84 (Abstr.). Importance, utilization and outlook. Martin, J.H., W.H. Agr. Millet, wild rice, adlay, and rice grass.

Mann. In general, proso and foxtail millet do not respond consistently to the
addition of nitrogen fertilizer. The seeds vary in color
as white cream, yellow, orange, red, black to brown. The millets can also replace summer crops late in the season when they have
poor germination or are destroyed due to early drought, late spring frost,
hail, or insects, providing a good chance of obtaining a crop. University of Nebraska released 'Dawn', a
very short, very early cultivar with a tight panicle. Under high-input conditions, however, it may be a poor
choice because of low response to high fertility and abundant water
(Baltensperger et al. In western Nebraska, proso can produce a seed crop when
planted as early as May 15 or as late as July 5. Proso millet has medium water use and crude protein of the hay might be around 10%. Anderson, and B.W. Plants for man. The authors concluded that since proso
accumulates higher dry matter in the reproductive parts compared to wheat,
maize, and sorghum, it may be advantageous to grow proso in dry and short
growing seasons. Luis et al. Foxtail millet cultivars are more variable in
maturity than available proso cultivars and some will not mature if planted
after June 15 ('White Wonder', 'Golden German' and others), but since most are
grown for hay, the practical planting window may be extended to July 15 and
still produce a good hay crop. J. 61:311-320. 1. The danger with this strategy is that hailed wheat land
may not store sufficient moisture to provide successful seeding of winter wheat
in the fall (Baltensperger et al. It is generally accepted that narrow rows (<30cm) are beneficial in reducing
weed competition and increasing yield (Nelson 1977; Agdag 1995). Frickel, and R.L. It is a large, white-seeded
cultivar with excellent yield potential, late in maturity, excellent lodging
tolerance, and is expected to replace 'Cope' in most growing areas. It is large, white-seeded, with excellent yield
potential, intermediate in maturity, excellent lodging tolerance, and is
expected to replace 'Sunup' in most growing areas. 'Panhandle' from
Nebraska, 'Minco' from Minnesota, and 'Abarr' from Colorado are all similar to
the original common white (Baltensperger et al. Technique for artificial

45°C, but does not germinate at 5° or 50°C. Proso has been immune to this disease and is the primary
reason it is utilized on a larger scale. Rachie. A progressive shortening of the vegetative period occurs with later
plantings, and stem elongation is determined by the length of the vegetative
period. Registration of huntsman proso millet. Vol. A trade summary. 2nd ed. The feed value of proso has been studied with several classes of livestock. Sorghum and the millets. 'Huntsman'

(Baltensperger et al. If red seed is desired, the two choices are 'Cerise', an early maturing
cultivar from Nebraska, or 'Red Leonard', a tall, late maturing cultivar from
Colorado. Principles of field crop
production. 3:265-288. It is early in maturity, has excellent lodging
tolerance, and is expected to replace 'Dawn' and 'Rise' in most growing areas
(Baltensperger et al. Anderson, R.L. p. 440-442. 1982b. Schery, R.W. Proso (2n = 36) is considered a self-pollinated
crop, but natural cross-pollination may exceed 10% (Popov 1946). 1980). This is not the most desirable type since it is
difficult to maintain a shallow depth with it. Foxtail millet, Italian millet, German millet, Hay millet, Proso millet, Common millet, Hershey millet, Hog millet, White millet, Broomcorn millet. Abstr. Lyon, D. and D.D. 92-1. p. 14. For proso, he used a base
temperature of 10°C. In the lower third of the cone of growth, initial humps of
secondary axes appear following enlarged growth of the growing point, with the
middle and upper parts still undifferentiated. According to Matz (1986), however, proso is probably a native of Egypt and
Arabia and has been cultivated in Asia Minor and southern Europe since
prehistoric times. Rajewski, and K.A. Foliage is still green at maturity so it
is generally swathed prior to combining. Baltensperger, D.D., G. Frickel, M. Swanson, T. Homan, R. Klein, J. Krall, and
R. Anderson. Rapid elongation of stem internodes and an increase in
leaf area accompanied by more tillers are noticed in this phase. In India is has been a … Finger millet has been
grown predominantly in India and Africa, both for grain and forage. Baltensperger. Korra is also a low fat grain and therefore answers the concerns of obese people. Pearl millet: New feed
grain crop. Foxtail millet has about 500,000 seeds/kg, or more than twice that of
proso (Wietgrefe 1990). 94-107-A. Proso stems and leaves are covered with slight hairs. 4 0 obj The results indicated that planting date of May 15 and June
1 were optimal for grain yield. Triticale, soy-tvp and millet based
