Between 1988-1992, researches were carried out regarding sowing time in successive crop, row spacing and seeding density, influence of the nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers and behaviour of the new cultivar Margarit at the Agricultural Research Station Secuieni-Neamt. The results demonstrated that the millet crop cultivated in Moldavia silvosteppe in successive crop, under irrigation, provided economical yields, especially after devastated crops, where none of the species is able to provide economical grain yield. The yield increase was obtained when seeding was performed between May 15th-June 15th. In these cases the yield was 3033 kg/ha and respectively 2742 kg/ha. The optimum row spacing was 25 cm and the optimum plant density - 400 germinal seeds/sq.m. (21 kg/ha). Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization influenced the yield increase. The economic rate is 60-80 kg P2O5/ha and 60-70 N/ha. Cultivar Margarit gave a higher yield compared to the cultivar Raduga 9 (yield increase of 48 percent)
