PARTIAL RESULTS CONCERNING THE INFLUENCE OF THE SEED RATE AND FOLIAR FERTILIZATION ON THE BEHAVIOR OF SOME MILLET GENOTYPES IN THE PEDOCLIMATE CONDITIONS OF S.C.D.A. SECUIENI.

Starting with 2022 at the Secuieni Agricultural Research-Development Station, millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) was introduced for study. In this paper are presented partial results obtained regarding the behavior and yields obtained with two millet genotypes experimented with different rates of seeds and foliar fertilization applied products. The obtained results showed that the millet has a good adaptability to the Secuieni pedoclimatic condition registered in 2022. Thus, the millet average yields was of 3144 kg/ha when it was sown with a seed rate of 10 kg/ha, 3324 kg/ha at a seed rate of 14 kg/ha and 3517 kg/ha when the seed rate was 18 kg/ha. Regarding the foliar fertilization of the millet crop, the yields values, both the highest and the lowest, were recorded for the Marius variety sown with a seed rate of 10 kg/ha and foliar fertilized with the commercial product Terra Sorb (2.0 l/ha) (3687 kg/ha), respectively with the commercial product Albit (0.04 l/ha) (3048 kg/ha).
