This method of harvesting also requires the seed to be dried before storage. Lines adapted to the prairie environment mature in 99-108 days. Proso millet uses water efficiently and is therefore drought-tolerant, but it does best under warm-season conditions with an adequate moisture supply. Yields range from 1800 to 5800 kg/ha. The average for Crown is 3871 kg/ha and for AC Prairie Gold, 4450 kg/ha. Potential

This market growth is potentially good. Proso can become a significant commercial crop of 10000-15000 ha or Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Kiehn, Ferdinand A; Reimer, Mel; Canada.
