The Promotion of Conservation systems and the assessment of applications for indigenous heirloom foxtail millet(Setaria italia)
- Among the30 millet seeds, 8 had a germination rate of less than 80%, the ratio is 26.66%, and germination rate of less than10%, the ratio is 10%.
- Assisted the Mataian Tribal Village to establish a 0.4 hectares millet seed orchard , conduct seed conservation demonstration among tribal farmers and optimize tribal millet seed genetic resources.
- Organized one Seminar on Native Crop Seed Conservation, promoting seed conservation technology education and training courses for millet farmers.
- In 2025, a total of 19 millet germplasm accessions were collected from Indigenous communities in Taitung and Hualien for preliminary evaluation. The results of the spring season trial showed that two accessions (M114-10 and M114-6) achieved a single-plant yield exceeding 50 g. The higher yield was mainly attributed to the presence of 1.4-2.7 tillers, multiple panicles per plant, and longer panicle length. These accessions are identified as key candidates for advanced evaluation in the next phase.
