Abstract:
      Field experi ments were conducted in arid area to study quality characters of foxtail millet under water-controlled irrigation among eight cultivars .The results showed that the crude protein crude fat lysine and Vb1content dropped by 23.40g/kg 0.77g/kg 0.28g/kg 0.18g/100g respectively after water-controlled irrigation compared with non-irrigation but the crude starch gel consistency alkali value and rate of milled grains increased by 26.77g/kg 29.44 mm 0.23 and 7.00%respectively .Water-controlledirrigationis a good measure to i mprove cooking quality.
