Drought tolerance of proso millet

Panicum miliaceum L.

The drought tolerance of proso millet is due to its developed root system and its ability to temporarily suspend growth during moisture deficits. The crop is effectively adapted to arid conditions, utilizing half as much water to produce a unit of dry matter compared to wheat.

In the reference 7 varieties crop Proso millet, where this is mentioned in the description.

To assess tolerance, field methods are used, including observations of leaf rolling, the development of waxy bloom, and the rate of leaf senescence during the booting stage, as well as laboratory methods using PEG 6000 to simulate water stress during seed germination.

The most important morphological criterion is the ability of proso millet to form a robust root system, which penetrates the soil to a depth of up to 1.5 meters. A biological feature of the crop allows it to resume vegetation upon improvement of the water regime; however, yield remains dependent on moisture availability during the critical stages of tillering and panicle formation.
