The article establishes the influence of individual technological methods of cultivation on the height and number of stems of millet species of the genus. It is revealed that the optimal value of the height of plants, as the number of stems pc / m², is decisive in the implementation of the yield of grated millet. The highest yield of dry biomass was obtained on a variant of the experiment where the sowing was conducted in the first decade of May, the average yield of this variant was 3,3 t/ha and 2,8 t/ha in the Cave-in-Rock and Carthage varieties, which by 0,2 and 0,3 t/ha higher compared to the options where the sowing dates were in the third decade of April and May. The highest yield of dry millet gravel biomass was obtained on the variant of the experiment, where the depth of seeding was 1 cm. The average yield in this variant during the years of research was 3,2 and 2,8 t/ha in the grape varieties of the Cave-in-rock and Carthage claws. The highest plant height values were obtained on the experimental version, where the row width was 15 cm, and the highest yield was obtained from the plants of the first year of vegetation on the experiment variant, where the row width was 30 cm – 3,6 and 2,8 t/ha in the millet varieties Cave In Rock and Carthage. This indicates that the decisive factor in implementing the yield of grated millet is the optimum value of both plant height and number of stems pc./m².  The best variant of pre-planting of soil, where two pre-sowing cultivation and till and post-sowing ditching of soil were carried out, and the highest yield of grains of the grape varieties was Cave-in-Rock 3,5 and Carthage – 2,7 t/ha. The highest yield strength of dry biomass logs was obtained on a variant where manual propagation and subsequent interrow cultivations in Cave-in-Rock and Cartage varieties were  3,7 and 2,8 t/ha. However, the yield of dried millet in the experimental version, where the soil primeretz TZ Gold was applied, was 50% (4 t/ha) and inter-row the cultivation was 3,5 and 2,7 t/ha, which is comparable to the control within the experimental.
