Vasуlenko R. Improvement of cultivation technology elements foxtail millet (Setaria italica maxima L.) for grain and green weight in a southern steppe

The object of researches is Processes of growth, development of plants and forming of harvest and quality of products of foxtail millet in the single-species and compatible sowing depending on the explored factors. The purpose of researches is development and scientific ground of basic agrarian-technological receptions of growing of foxtail millet (optimum terms, methods, norms of sowing, bringing of fertilizers, terms of moistening) in the single-species and compatible sowing. Methods of researches - the field; laboratory; mathematic-statistical methods; computation. Results of researches - For a theory: First on livery soil of South Steppe of Ukraine the elements of technology of growing of culture of foxtail millet, which provide productivity of corn in unwatering terms to 4,2 t/ga, are improved, green mass - 41,4 and during conducting of two vegetation watering - 58,9 t/ga, and on conditions of the use of its mixture with an amaranth - to 68,5 t/ga. The optimum parameters of terms, methods of sowing and norms of sowing of seeds at growing on a corn and green mass are definite, that acquired subsequent development in production. Influence of mineral fertilizers and irrigation on growth and development of plants, forming of harvest and quality of the reared products at the use of the compatible sowing with the vetch of fervent and amaranth is set. For practice: The scientifically grounded agrotechnical receptions of growing of foxtail millet are recommended in the single-species and compatible sowing are instrumental in the receipt in the unwatering terms of South Steppe of Ukraine productivity of corn to 4,2 that green mass 40 t/ga and anymore. The sphere of the use is the agricultural enterprises of south region of Ukraine.
