Cultivation Proso millet is a relatively low-demanding crop and diseases are not known; consequently, proso millet is often used in organic farming systems in Europe.
Proso millet is an annual grass whose plants reach an average height of 100 cm (4 feet.).
Proso millet is also a poor fodder due to its low leaf:stem ratio and a possible irritant effect due to its hairy stem.
Proso millet is highly drought-resistant, which makes it of interest to regions with low water availability and longer periods without rain.
