Abstract

 Growing millet in the Nizhnevolzhsky region is as a drought-resistant crop that guarantees the provision of the food industry with raw materials and animal feed is extremely important. Seed-growing work on millet is currently represented by three varieties, as the most in demand among peasant farms. In technological issues of growing millet, insufficient attention has been paid to seeding rates for seed purposes in the arid region of the Lower Volga region. The purpose of the study is to determine the optimal and economically justified sowing rate for obtaining seeds of sowing millet in the Lower Volga region. Studies to establish optimal seeding rates for seed purposes of millet sowing were carried out on an experimental plot in the Kamyshinsky district, Volgograd region. The obtained data on the yield of millet were processed by the method of dispersion analysis. As a result of studies to determine the optimal seeding rate for millet, it was found that for seed purposes the most effective seeding rate was 25 kg/ha, at this rate the Diana variety was the most productive - 1.8 t/ha. With the profitability of seed production - 207.3%. With a seeding rate of 20 kg/ha, the yield of the same variety was 1.6 t/ha, the profitability was 244.8%. The leading variety in the test had the highest weight of 1000 seeds - 8.7 g and protein content in the grain - 13.9%. The highest yield in the experiment was obtained in millet crops at a seeding rate of 25 kg/ha (1.8 t/ha) in the Diana variety. The result of the variety Diana is higher than that of the standard variety Saratovskoe 6 by 0.1 t/ha.
