“…The variety ‘Dawn’ was the first of the modern proso varieties, and is the parent of most of the cultivars released in Nebraska (Lyon et al, 2008a). The white-seeded varieties ‘Sunrise,’ ‘Huntsman,’ and ‘Earlybird’ were developed from crosses, with the F 1 and F 2 seed increased in the greenhouse, and the F 4 selections included in yield nurseries and regional trials (Baltensperger et al, 1995b,c, 1997). Prior to the elucidation of the molecular basis of the waxy endosperm trait by Hunt et al (2010, 2012), and development of primer-based markers for the Waxy gene by Araki et al (2012), the trait was investigated using segregation analysis of F 3 populations.…”

“…However, several insect pests still pose a constraint to proso millet production, and at present, resistant cultivars are developed through traditional breeding. The early proso cultivars released in the U.S. such as ‘Huntsman,’ ‘Earlybird’ and ‘Sunrise’ are resistant to the Russian wheat aphid [ Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko)] (Baltensperger et al, 1995b,c, 1997). In Oklahoma, Wilson and Burton (1980) screened proso millet cultivars for oviposition and feeding of five insect pests of grains, specifically cinch bugs [ Blissus leucopterus leucopterus (Say)], corn earworms [ Heliotis zea (Bodie)], fall armyworms [ Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E.…”

Proso Millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) and Its Potential for Cultivation in the Pacific Northwest, U.S.: A Review

Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is a warm season grass with a growing season of 60–100 days. It is a highly nutritious cereal grain used for human consumption, bird seed, and/or ethanol production. Unique characteristics, such as drought and heat tolerance, make proso millet a promising alternative cash crop for the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region of the United States. Development of proso millet varieties adapted to dryland farming regions of the PNW could give growers a much-needed option for diversifying their predominantly wheat-based cropping systems. In this review, the agronomic characteristics of proso millet are discussed, with emphasis on growth habits and environmental requirements, place in prevailing crop rotations in the PNW, and nutritional and health benefits. The genetics of proso millet and the genomic resources available for breeding adapted varieties are also discussed. Last, challenges and opportunities of proso millet cultivation in the PNW are explored, including the potential for entering novel and regional markets.

“…Proso millet cultivars have changed greatly since 1977 with the release of 'Sunup' (9), 'Sunrise' (10), 'Earlybird' (11) and 'Huntsman' (12). Therefore, Nelson (3) tested proso millet row spacings from 18 to 71 cm on bare seedbeds and found that yields were higher with 18 cm rows.…”

Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.), a short-season summer annual with excellent water-use efficiency, is well adapted to crop production systems in semi-arid environments. It is used as an emergency crop or as a rotation crop in a three-year rotation with winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Row spacing and cultivar may impact the success of proso millet in the semi-arid Great Plains. Six row spacings; 15, 19, 23, 30, 38, and 46 cm, were compared in three environments; conventional tillage irrigated, conventional tillage dryland, and no-tillage dryland. These plots were evaluated at two different weed density levels: weedy (allowed all weeds to grow in the plots during the growing period) ORDER REPRINTS and weed-free (did not allow any weeds during the growing period). These trials were conducted in 1995 at the High Plains Agriculture Lab, Sidney, Nebraska (latitude 41816 0 North and longitude 1038 00 0 West) at an elevation of 1250 m. Proso millet responded to changes in row spacing. Grain yield, tiller number, and straw weight decreased as row spacing increased while seed weight and plant height increased with row spacing. Seed weight increased with row spacing at all row spacings in the irrigated treatment while in the dryland sites, the increase was only at the narrower row spacing. The relatively light weed pressure in all but the no-till treatment reduced the effect of weeds in the response of grain yield to row spacing. Even in the no-till treatment, row spacing had little influence on weed weight. Narrow rows were superior for grain yield and weed control. In areas of limited moisture, however, 15 cm appears to be too narrow. Thus, 19 cm would appear to be a better choice of row spacing for areas where drought is likely.

“…The production of millets has increased slightly from 29 million tons in the 1980s up to 33.6 to 37.3 million tons from 2001 to 2005. 53 Proso millet is also referred to as common millet, hog millet, broom corn, yellow hog, hershey, and white millet 3 . It is an annual cereal grain producing bright green leaves and small seeds.…”

J. Inst. Brew. 116(2), 141-150, 2010Proso millet is a gluten-free cereal and is therefore considered a suitable raw material for the manufacturing of foods and beverages for people suffering from celiac disease. The objective of this study was to develop an optimal mashing procedure for 100% proso millet malt with a specific emphasis on high amylolytic activity. Therefore, the influence of temperature and pH on the amylolytic enzyme activity during mashing was investigated. Size exclusion chromatography was used to extract different amylolytic enzyme fractions from proso millet malt. These enzymes were added into a pH-adjusted, cold water extract of proso millet malt and an isothermal mashing procedure was applied. The temperatures and pH optima for amylolytic enzyme activities were determined. The α-amylase enzyme showed highest activity at a temperature of 60°C and at pH 5.0, whereas the β-amylase activity was optimum at 40°C and pH 5.3. The limit dextrinase enzyme reached maximum activity at 50°C and pH 5.3. In the subsequent mashing regimen, the mash was separated and 40% was held for 10 min at 68°C to achieve gelatinisation. The next step in the mashing procedure was the mixture of the part mashes. The combined mash was then subjected to an infusion mashing regimen, taking the temperature optima of the various amylolytic enzymes into account. It was possible to obtain full saccharification of the wort with this mashing regimen. The analytical data obtained with the optimised proso millet mash were comparable to barley wort, which served as a control.
