Abstract：In order to screen out the high-yield and high-quality millet varieties(lines)suitable for planting in northern Xinjiang,in this study,20 varieties(lines)of introduced millet were used as materials,and their growth period,agronomic traits,yield and quality were comprehensively evaluated by field planting and indoor seed examination.The results showed that the growth period of the 20 varieties(lines)of introduced millet was 105.0～137.0 days,with an average of 119.7 days,the plant height was 1.01～1.73 m,with an average of 1.35 m,and the number of main stem nodes was 11.0～15.0,with an average of 13.2 nodes.The number of tillers per plant was 1.9～6.9,with an average of 2.9,the grain weight per panicle was 14.8～21.9 g,with an average of 18.2 g,and the 1 000-grain weight was 2.7～3.4 g,with an average of 3.0 g.In terms of yield,the average yield of the 20 varieties(lines)was 5 685.8 kg/hm2,the highest yield was 6 633.7 kg/hm2,and the lowest yield was 4 291.9 kg/hm2.In terms of quality,the millet yield rate of 20 varieties(lines)was 63.4％～78.0％,with an average of 70.5％.The results of comprehensive evaluation showed that the varieties(lines)of millet showed good potential in terms of yield,quality and other aspects.Among them,Yugu 31,Chaogu 15,Tiansu No.2,Tiansu No.1 and Yugu 33 are the most outstanding in terms of yield and grain yield,and are expected to become high-yield and high-quality millet varieties popularized and planted in this region.
