Barnyard millet (Echinochloa crusgalli var. frumentacea) has been detected as the best fodder crop in Korea for earlier and/or later season crop. The objective of the study was to examine varieal differences among the varieties introduced from ICRISAT and cultivated in Korea for salt tolerance and green fodder and grain yield under the saline and normal upland soil conditions. IEC 514, IEC 515, IEC 518 and IEC 528 introduced from ICRISAT were relatively highly tolerant to saline soil and with higher green fodder and grain yields, and also were very earlier headed and matured as compared with the Korean local varieties and King.
