African millet is small, about 1000 seeds 5-10 gram and is the best feed for birds. The stalk is superior to all other fodder crops in silage and dry state in terms of its nutritive value and high protein content. Alcohol is extracted from grain and used in the production of beer in the food industry, flour is made from grain and added to wheat flour to make high-quality bread containing various minerals. Another fact is that grain yield is around 0.7-1.2 t/ha, and in some conditions, it reaches 1.8-2.0 t/ha. The root reaches more than 2 meters deep, which ensures drought resistance and wind resistance. The important biological properties of African millet are its high yield, disease resistance, rapid reproduction, high fodder and nutritional properties of the grain, drought resistance, high temperature deficiency resistance, green mass gives an abundant yield. Furthermore, it is less affected by pests and diseases than other cereal crops. African millet “HHVBC tall” and “EEBC” varieties were investigated in eight variants with three iterations according to feeding standards. According to the results, on May 22, 2015, the plant height was 44-45 cm in the EEBC variety and 47-48 cm in the HHVBC tall variety. It was found that when the phenological observations were made on June 20, the average plant height was 130-125 cm in the EEBC variety, whereas it was 95-120 cm in the HHVBC tall variety. It can be seen that the height of EEBC variety compared to HHVBC tall variety was greater. |
