Branitsky Yuriy Yuriyovych – Director of the Uladovo-Lyulinetsky Experimental Breeding Station of the Institute of Bioenergetic Cultures and Sugar Beet NAAS (Vinnitska region, Kalinowski r-n, Ulatowska, Samolevska Street, 15).

The article establishes the optimum width between rows of millet-shaped plants, which ensures a high level of dry biomass yield. The number of stems per 1 m² was the highest in the variant of experience with a 45 cm row spacing in Cave-in-rock and Cartage varieties - 469.7 and 405.3, respectively. / m² 

The average value of the number of leaves in plants of the second, third and fourth years of the growing season was higher in Cave-in-rock varieties - 5.2 and 5.4 pcs. and Carthage - 5.1 and 5.2 pcs. with a row spacing of 30 and 45 cm. 

The highest yield of dry biomass was obtained in the experiment, where the row spacing was 45 cm in both grades of millet-shaped Cave-in-Rock and Kartag, respectively, the average yield values during the second, third and fourth years of vegetation were 12.3 and 9, 4 t / ha
