Breeding and Cultivation Techniques of High Qulity and Stress Resistant Broomcorn Millet Variety Jishu No.9 Suitable for Mechanized Production
In response to the serious lodging and unsuitability for mechanized planting in the production of broomcorn millet,a new broomcorn millet variety Jishu No.9 was developed through sexual hybridization taking Huangmizi as the female parent and Jinshu No.5 as the male parent using the pedigree method.The stalk is medium dwarf with a main stem height of 140.8 cm.The thousand grain weight was 7.9 g.It has good high yield and stability,strong stress resistance,and is suitable for mechanized production.The yield of 14 trials increased in the 2 a regional tests,with an average yield of 2 848.5 kg/hm2,which was 18.6%higher than the control.The lodging resistance was grade 0,the drought resistance was grade 1,and the resistance to smut disease was grade 2.
