Numerous varieties of proso millet are being evaluated by researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Colorado State University in a joint effort. An update entitled "Cooperative Proso Millet Testing in Second Year" is presented by Amanda Easterly (Research Asst. Prof. at UNL) and Sally Jones-Diamond (Dir., Crops Testing Prog., CSU) on UNL's Cropwatch site (6 Nov. 2024) https://cropwatch.unl.edu/2024/cooperative-proso-millet-testing-second-year
"Together with CSU Crops Testing, the UNL Crops Testing Team just wrapped up its second year of cooperative variety testing, aimed at providing growers and breeders with multi-location and multi-year yield and quality estimates. In this initiative, proso millet varieties that have been in use for decades, such as Earlybird and Huntsman, are tested against newer commercially available varieties such as Plateau and DLG 240. Also included are experimental varieties developed by UNL Alternative Crops Breeder [Prof.] Dipak Santra and the company Dryland Genetics, whose breeder Santosh Rajput, PhD. is a UNL graduate."
