This paper presents the results of research work on the comprehensive testing of the source material of millet with high combinational ability, which are new donors and gene sources of breeding valuable traits. According to the complex of valuable signs and properties, samples with high yield, drought resistance, heat resistance, etc. were identified:K-554, K-7748, K-9298, K- 3450, K-6071, K-7766, K-10370, K-10287, K-743, K-1533, K-7758, K-8744, K-9266, K-9513, K- 3417, K-564, K-1147, K-1374, K-1539, K-9639, etc. The study of the collection material showed that precocious millet varieties in the conditions of the North Caucasus are not able to fully utilize fertility resources and produce low yields. In our conditions, the most productive are medium- ripened and medium-early samples, for which the average length of the period from sowing to ripening is 80-90 days. The medium-ripened samples use the precipitation of the second half of summer; therefore they are the most adapted to the conditions of this zone.
