Abstract
The exact field experiment with two cultivars of millet: Gierczyckie and Jagna was conducted in four replications in the years 2003 and 2004 at the agricultural experimental station Pawłowice near Wrocław. The „split-plot” method was applied. The cultivars were established as the factors of the first order, and the following levels of nitrogen fertilization (kg∙ha-1) were the factors of the second order: 0 (no fertilization), 30 (presowing), 60 (30 presowing + 30 at the stage of plant tillering), 90 (30 presowing + 30 at the stage of plant tillering + 30 before panicle appearance). The yield harvested from the two cultivars in 2003 was higher by more than 1 t∙ha-1 than that obtained in 2004, essentially due to the more favourable weather conditions in 2003. Cultivar Jagna, compared to cv. Gierczyckie, produced higher yield, mainly because of the considerably greater number of panicles per the area unit and the longer panicles. However, the weight of 1000 seeds and the number of seeds in a panicle were lower in cv. Jagna. This resulted in significantly reduced panicle fertility in this cultivar. As regards the yield components, the total content of protein was similar in both millet cultivars, increasing significantly with the increase in nitrogen doses, up to 12.6% at 90 kg∙ha-1. The content of crude fat, crude fibre and crude ash was each higher in cv. Gierczyckie than in cv. Jagna. No effects of nitrogen doses upon the content of mineral elements in seeds were found. A value of this yield component was rather influenced by the cultivar and the year of investigations.
