- Title
Agronomic performance of a triazine resistant foxtail millet {Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.).

- Abstract
The agronomic performance of a foxtail millet line resistant to atrazine, obtained through interspecific hybridization between <em>Setaria viridis</em> and <em>S. italica</em>, was compared to that of the original susceptible cultivar of <em>S. italica</em>. In spite of lower grain yields when both were grown in identical conditions, the use of this resistant material is justified because its yield when weeded with atrazine was similar to that of the susceptible cultivar with handweeding. There were no differences in early season growth rates between these lines at cool temperatures.
