谷子是我国北方主要粮食作物之一。随着生产的发展,耕作栽培条件的改善,迫切要求高产品种。建国以来全国选育推广了160多个谷子优良品种,对提高谷子产量起到了重要作用,但与水稻、小麦相比,还没有大的突获。因此,选育谷子高产品种是发展谷子生产的首要任务。1979～1986年对省内主要品种(改良种和农家种)、省外大面积推广的高产品种进行观察研究,分析历年来本省、华北区域品种的有关性状,参考水稻、小麦的育种及生理研究资料,对谷子高 Millet is one of the main food crops in northern China. With the development of production and the improvement of cultivation and cultivation conditions, there is an urgent need for high-yielding varieties. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, breeding and popularizing more than 160 fine varieties of millet has played an important role in raising millet yield, but there has not been a big surprise compared with rice and wheat. Therefore, breeding high-yielding millet varieties is the most important task in the development of millet production. From 1979 to 1986, the main varieties (improved varieties and farmer’s species) in the province and high-yield varieties widely popularized outside the province were observed and studied. The related traits of the varieties in the province and North China over the years were analyzed. Reference is made to the breeding and physiology of rice and wheat Information, high on the millet
