The Effects of Meteorological Factors on Grain Yield of Foxtail Millet (<i>Setaria italica</i> Beauv.) under Different Water Supply Conditions

Meteorological factors have significant impacts on crop yield. To account for the impact of meteorological factors on foxtail millet (<i>Setaria italica</i> Beauv.) production in different water conditions, a total of 38 collected varieties were grown in nine seasons from 2011 to 2020 (e...

description Meteorological factors have significant impacts on crop yield. To account for the impact of meteorological factors on foxtail millet (<i>Setaria italica</i> Beauv.) production in different water conditions, a total of 38 collected varieties were grown in nine seasons from 2011 to 2020 (except 2016) under well-watered (WW) and water-stressed (WS) conditions. The results showed that there was a large seasonal variation in GY; the variation ranged from 4.92 t ha<sup>−1</sup> to 6.95 t ha<sup>−1</sup> under the WW treatment and from 3.50 t ha<sup>−1</sup> to 5.77 t ha<sup>−1</sup> under the WS treatment. The impacts of meteorological factors on foxtail millet under the WW and WS treatments were different; sunshine duration during the whole stage, vegetative stage and reproductive stage had the greatest impact under the WW treatment, while under the WS treatment, sunshine duration and the diurnal temperature range during the whole stage and reproductive stage were the greatest impact factors on grain yield. This work could help us in high-yield foxtail millet cultivation and breeding.
