Foxtail Millet is one of the specialty crops in Japan. In Asia, it is mainly grown for human consumption. It was recently introduced in the United States for hay and silage. Because of its short growth cycle, it is a suitable crop for nomads, and was probably brought to Europe during the Stone Age.It is necessary to understand that the wild ancestor of foxtail millet has been securely identified as Setaria viridis, which is inter-fertile with foxtail millet; wild or weedy forms of foxtail millet also exist. The primary difference between the wild and cultivated forms is their seed dispersal biology. Wild and weedy forms shatter the seeds while cultivars retain them.
