Abstract
In field trials at Carbondale, the feasibility of establishing and producing forage millet (Pennisetum americanum) in wheat stubble was examined and soil moisture regimes were evaluated. Conventional, min. and plough-free tillage and 3 different sowing implements were used. Adequate, well-distributed rainfall was essential for good millet establishment and production. Generally, plough-free and min. tillage systems had higher soil moisture levels than conventional tillage. The Allis Chambers No-Till Planter was the only acceptable sowing implement for min. and plough-free tillage systems under limited surface soil moisture conditions. Under conventional tillage, the International Grain Drill was the most suitable
