Abstract: This study aims to breed millet variety with high quality, high yield, disease- resistance, wide adaptability and being suitable for high quality millet development. New varieties with simplified cultivation technique could be applied to production. Crop research institute, Shanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences used‘Qinzhouhuang’as the female parent and‘Jingu21’as male parent, and adopted the chemical castration technology to conduct the crossbreeding. As a result, high quality millet variety ‘Jinfen96’was bred, and its cultivation techniques were studied.‘Jinfen96’was determined and named‘Jingu57’by crop evaluation committee of Shanxi Province in July 2013. Its high yield and high efficiency cultivation technique was studied and developed.‘Jingu57’had characteristics of high quality, high yield, strong resistance, wide adaptability, etc. Its accumulative total promotion area was 40933 hm2 from 2014 to 2015. In the rain-fed agriculture of Shanxi Province, the new variety could play a role in the development of rural economy and increase of farmers’ income.
