Abstract: The yielding ability and stability and adaptability of eight proso millet varieties from Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang and Hebei were analyzed and evaluated in different ecological regions including Zhangjiakou, Huanghua and Shijiazhuang in 2015. The results showed that Chishu No.2 and Jishu No.2 have stronger yielding ability, and their grain yields were 3 144.42 (highest) and 3 133.15 kg/ha respectively, ranking first and second in the test varieties. In areas with low fertility, especially in saline-alkali areas, they still have potential for high yields, so they are suitable for promotion in large areas in Hebei Province. Neimi No.8 and Yanshu No.11 showed special adaptability under different ecological conditions. They require high-fertility soil and can be planted in the spring millet area in north of Hebei.
