Abstract
A number of high yielding and early maturing strains of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) have been developed and tested at the Central Arid Zone Research Institute, Jodhpur. S. No. 1 yielded higher (18.99 q/ha) than the recommended pearl millet (bajra) variety BJ 104 (18.00 q/ha) in kharif 1977. Foxtail millet developed at CAZRI matured in 50-55 days. Different varieties responded differently to various levels of nitrogen up to a maximum of 60 kg N/ha. Diseases include rust (Uromyces setaria italica), for which resistant strains have already been developed, blast (Piricularia sp.), leaf spot (Helminthosporium sp.), and smut (Ustilago crameri). None of these have been observed to occur under arid conditions. Pest incidence on all varieties of Setaria italica is low
