The aim of the study was to recognize the variation of some selected usable traits of millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) basing on the initial experiment carried out in 2005 in the Agricultural Experimental Station at Zawady near Siedlce, which belongs to the University of Podlasie. Seventeen accessions of millet, which originated from the Gene Bank collection in IHAR Radzikow and Jagna variety, which is currently cultivated, were used as an experimental material. The tested millet objects belonged to three subspecies: contractum, effusum and compactum. The estimated trais were number of stalks, number of panicles on lateral shoots, plant height, number of seeds per plant, seed weight per plant and thousand seed weight. The statistical analyses showed that the tested millet forms were characterized by a great variety of the analysed traits in each subspecies. Objects such as 060135 (ssp. effusum), 060037 (ssp. compactum) and 0600050 (ssp. contractum) were on the similar level with Jagna cultivar regarding the number of seeds and seed weight per plant. The largest thousand seed weight was found in 0600135 form. A significantly larger number of panicles on lateral shoots in tested millet objects as compared to Jagna cultivar was observed. The analysed millet subspecies had a significantly lower seed weight per plant and a lower thousand seed weight than Jagna cultivar.
