Millet

Millet – is valuable grain, technical and feed crop. Grain of millet contains 55-58% starch, 10-11% protein and 4% fat, characterized by high cellulose content (3-8%). Millet is used to produce cereals, flour and livestock feed (grain, husk, straw). Millet is a valuable cereal crop, which can ensure relatively high and relatively stable harvest even in drought years. According to the technology of growing it often gives a higher amount of harvest than other crops. In Ukraine, millet can be sown late, allowing plants to efficiently use the summer rain. Because millet is widely used as an insurance culture for replanting dead of winter and early spring crops and crop for green fodder. Millet - a culture without waste. Due to the large amount of starch millet used to produce alcohol, and lately in the world of plant genetics companies are actively working on the conversion millet to energy plant. Straw and chaff, millet in quality approaching meadow hay (0.41 k.o.). Millet hay is better than hay, oats, sorghum, maize or timothy, and the quality of green fodder millet and sorghum maize dominates. The area for cultivation of millet ranks fourth place in the world among the major crops. In recent years, production of millet has increased in many countries in America, Europe and Asia. In Ukraine, for the last 6-7 years millet crop area decreased by almost half.

Millet has well developed root system, which then has a weak ability to digest. That is why plants need sufficient amount of digestible nutrients to make them, they react strongly. Culture is distinguished by its easy adaptability to soil and climatic conditions, heat-loving, drought-resistant, heat-resistant, tolerates high concentration of salts in the soil. Therefore, grown mainly in the desert, but can be grown in the conditions of forest-steppe and woodlands, where it is one of the most promising corn-feed crops. Millet is the most sensitive to microelements: manganese, zinc, iron, molybdenum; less sensitive to - copper, poorly responsive to - boron and sulfur.

Recommendations for conducting of foliar feeding by complex fertilizers for millet

Consumption rate of working solution 200-300 l/ha.

It is advisable to combine feeding with the introduction of crop protection and urea (if necessary).

If necessary, it is recommended to use «ROSTOK» Zinc, «ROSTOK» Manganese, «ROSTOK» Iron, «ROSTOK»  Molybdenum.
