Abstract:

To understand the effect of different plant models on the yield of new drought-resistant hybrid millet 'ZZG 19' in Ordos region,3 plant patterns (drought and no plastic film, drought and plastic film, irrigation and no plastic film) and 5 plant densities (45000, 90000, 135000, 225000 and 450000 plants/hm2) were designed to study the stable and high yield ability of the hybrid millet 'ZZG 19'. The results showed that: the yield of 'ZZG 19' was improved with the increase of planting density under normal irrigation condition, and the highest yield was 8724.36 kg/hm2 at 450000 plants/hm2. Under drought condition, higher yield could be obtained by suitable planting density. When the planting density was 90000-450000 plants/hm2, the yield could be above 7700 kg/hm2, with the highest of 8654.33 kg/hm2, which had no significant difference with the highest yield under normal irrigation. Therefore, the suitable water-saving and high-yield planting mode of 'ZZG 19' in Ordos region is: irrigation of full water once before sowing, plastic film mulching and planting density of 90000-450000 plants/hm2, which could obtain high water use efficiency and high yield.
