Red millet (millet) Red millet millet is produced in Yulu, Shigang, the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, Shahe City, Hebei Province, and the hillside and valley of the next Cao generation, and the dry land of Gaogang Hill. The land with yellow clay soil is the production base of red millet, which has high altitude, long illumination time, suitable temperature, fertile land and high soil quality, so the crops grown are golden in color, crystal clear, sticky, fragrant, soft and delicious.

Millet is also called millet, and it is called millet in the north. Millet is shelled as millet, and its grain is small, with a diameter of about1mm.

Millet is one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world, which originated from the Yellow River valley in China and was the main food crop in ancient China. Millet grows drought-tolerant and has a wide variety, commonly known as "millet has colorful colors." There are white, red, yellow, black, orange, purple and other colors of millet, but also sticky millet. The earliest wine in China was also made from millet? . 　

morphological character

Annual. The fibrous roots are thick. The culms are stout and erect, with a height of 0. 1- 1 m or more. Leaf sheaths are loosely wrapped around stems, with dense warty hairs or no hairs. The hairs are close to the edge and the back where the leaves meet, and the edges are densely ciliated. The ligule is a circle of cilia; Leaf blade long lanceolate or linear lanceolate, length10-45cm, width 5-33mm, sharp apex, obtuse base, rough upper surface and slightly smooth lower surface.

The panicle is cylindrical or nearly spun, usually drooping, with discontinuous base, length 10-40 cm, width 1-5 cm, which often varies with different varieties. The main axis is densely hairy, and the bristles are significantly longer than or slightly longer than the spikelets, yellow, brown or purple. Spikelets are oval or nearly spherical, 2-3 mm long, yellow, orange or purple; The first spikelet is 1/3- 1/2 with 3 veins.

The second glume is slightly shorter or longer than 3/4 of the spikelet, with blunt apex and 5-9 veins; The first lemma is as long as the spikelet, with 5-7 veins, and its palea is thin papery and lanceolate, which is 2/3 of its length.

The second lemma is as long as the first lemma, ovoid or spherical, hard, smooth or with punctate wrinkles, and separates from the base and glume of the first lemma after maturity; Lodicule's apex is uneven and microwave-shaped. Style base separation; Are epidermal cells of leaves the same type as Setaria viridis? .
