Japanse millet is trosgierst.
En in tegenstelling tot wat de naam doet vermoeden is het Australische gierst.



Hier vind je wat info in het Engels:

Japanese millet (Echinochloa crusgalli var. frumentacea)
Japanese millet is closely related to barnyard grass and is widely cultivated in the tropics and subtropics. It has the highest protein content of all the millet species. It is mainly grown for grazing and haymaking, although a small volume is harvested as grain for the bird food industry. It is also popular in cover crop mixes as the plant and seed are attractive to waterfowls.

Production and trade

There are no data on the production of, and trade in, Japanese millet for the bird food industry. However, Japanese millet is often cited as an ingredient in companion bird food mixes, which indicates a global trading[19]. Japanese millet is grown in Australia (Queensland), China and the United States of America mainly for grazing or hay. Average yields obtained in Queensland, Australia are 1200 kg/ha.

Quality standards

The Australian standards for Japanese millet as bird food are 98 percent purity, a maximum moisture content of 13 percent, and a hectolitre weight of at least 46 kg.

Opportunities

Japanese millet is of tropical and subtropical origin and could be grown in most developing countries. The crop is relatively drought tolerant, has a low fertiliser requirement and matures early. To date there are no registered varieties, but in Australia improved varieties with bigger seeds are known as Shirohie millet.
