In India, foxtail millet is still an important crop in its arid and semi-arid regions.{{cite book |last1=Diao |first1=Xianmin |title=Genetics and Genomics of Setaria |last2=Jia |first2=Guanqing |editor-first=Andrew |editor-last=Doust |editor2=Xianmin Diao|volume=19 |year=2017 |pages=61–72 |issn=2363-9601 |doi=10.1007/978-3-319-45105-3_4 |chapter=Origin and Domestication of Foxtail Millet |series=Plant Genetics and Genomics: Crops and Models |isbn=978-3-319-45103-9}} In South India, it has been a staple diet among people for a long time from the Sangam period. It is referred to often in old Tamil texts and is commonly associated with Lord Muruga and his consort Valli.

In Karbi Anglong district of Assam, India, millets have been an integral part of the food system of the Karbis as well as the Jhum fields. Hanjangmilen, Karbi name of foxtail millets have been visible in the Jhum fields in the past. But today it is hardly visible in the Jhum fields. But farmers are now bringing the traditional crop back into their food system which needs little water, grows well on poor soil, is fast-growing and suffers from very few diseases.

In China, foxtail millet was the main staple food in the north before Sung Dynasty, when wheat started to become the main staple food. It is still the most common millet and one of the main food crops in the dry northern part of the country, especially among the poor. In Southeast Asia, foxtail millet is commonly cultivated in its dry, upland regions. In Europe and North America it is planted at a moderate scale for hay and silage, and to a more limited extent for birdseed.

In the northern Philippines, foxtail millet was once an important staple crop, until its later replacement by wet-rice and sweet potato cultivation.{{cite web|last1=Sheahan|first1=C.M|title=Plant guide for foxtail millet (Setaria italica)|url=https://plants.usda.gov/plantguide/pdf/pg_seit.pdf|publisher=USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service, Cape May Plant Materials Center|access-date=9 May 2017}}

It is a warm season crop, typically planted in late spring. Harvest for hay or silage can be made in 65–70 days with a typical yield of {{convert|15,000–20,000|kg/ha|ST/acre}} of green matter or {{convert|3,000–4,000|kg/ha|ST/acre}} of hay. Harvest for grain is in 75–90 days with a typical yield of {{convert|800–900|kg/ha|ST/acre}} of grain. Its early maturity and efficient use of available water make it suitable for raising in dry areas.

Diseases of foxtail millet include leaf and head blast disease caused by Magnaporthe grisea, smut disease caused by Ustilago crameri, and green ear caused by Sclerospora graminicola. The unharvested crop is also susceptible to attack by birds and rodents. Insect pests include Atherigona atripalpis, the foxtail millet shoot fly.{{cite book|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/book/9780128042434/insect-pests-of-millets|title=Insect Pests of Millets: Systematics, Bionomics, and Management|year=2017|first1=A.|last1=Kalaisekar|first2=P.G.|last2=Padmaja|first3=V.R.|last3=Bhagwat|first4=J.V.|last4=Patil|publisher=Academic Press (AP)|isbn=978-0-12-804243-4}}

The wild ancestor of foxtail millet has been securely identified as Setaria viridis, which is interfertile with foxtail millet; wild or weedy forms of foxtail millet also exist. Zohary and Hopf note that the primary difference between the wild and cultivated forms is "their seed dispersal biology. Wild and weedy forms shatter their seed while the cultivars retain them."{{cite book |title=Domestication of Plants in the Old World |editor-first1=Daniel |editor-last1=Zohary |editor-first2=Maria |editor-last2=Hopf |edition=3rd |publisher=Oxford University Press (OUP)|year=2000|isbn= 978-0198503569|pages=86–88}} The reference genome for foxtail millet was completed in 2012.{{cite journal|last1=Zhang|first1=Gengyun|last2=Liu|first2=Xin|last3=Quan|first3=Zhiwu|last4=Cheng|first4=Shifeng|last5=Xu|first5=Xun|last6=Pan|first6=Shengkai|last7=Xie|first7=Min|last8=Zeng|first8=Peng|last9=Yue|first9=Zhen|last10=Wang|first10=Wenliang|last11=Tao|first11=Ye|last12=Bian|first12=Chao|last13=Han|first13=Changlei|last14=Xia|first14=Qiuju|last15=Peng|first15=Xiaohua|last16=Cao|first16=Rui|last17=Yang|first17=Xinhua|last18=Zhan|first18=Dongliang|last19=Hu|first19=Jingchu|last20=Zhang|first20=Yinxin|last21=Li|first21=Henan|last22=Li|first22=Hua|last23=Li|first23=Ning|last24=Wang|first24=Junyi|last25=Wang|first25=Chanchan|last26=Wang|first26=Renyi|last27=Guo|first27=Tao|last28=Cai|first28=Yanjie|last29=Liu|first29=Chengzhang|last30=Xiang|first30=Haitao|last31=Shi|first31=Qiuxiang|last32=Huang|first32=Ping|last33=Chen|first33=Qingchun|last34=Li|first34=Yingrui|last35=Wang|first35=Jun|last36=Zhao|first36=Zhihai|last37=Wang|first37=Jian|display-authors=3|title=Genome sequence of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) provides insights into grass evolution and biofuel potential|journal=Nature Biotechnology|volume=30|issue=6|year=2012|pages=549–554|issn=1087-0156|doi=10.1038/nbt.2195|pmid=22580950|doi-access=free}}{{cite journal|last1=Bennetzen|first1=Jeffrey L|last2=Schmutz|first2=Jeremy|last3=Wang|first3=Hao|last4=Percifield|first4=Ryan|last5=Hawkins|first5=Jennifer|last6=Pontaroli|first6=Ana C|last7=Estep|first7=Matt|last8=Feng|first8=Liang|last9=Vaughn|first9=Justin N|last10=Grimwood|first10=Jane|last11=Jenkins|first11=Jerry|last12=Barry|first12=Kerrie|last13=Lindquist|first13=Erika|last14=Hellsten|first14=Uffe|last15=Deshpande|first15=Shweta|last16=Wang|first16=Xuewen|last17=Wu|first17=Xiaomei|last18=Mitros|first18=Therese|last19=Triplett|first19=Jimmy|last20=Yang|first20=Xiaohan|last21=Ye|first21=Chu-Yu|last22=Mauro-Herrera|first22=Margarita|last23=Wang|first23=Lin|last24=Li|first24=Pinghua|last25=Sharma|first25=Manoj|last26=Sharma|first26=Rita|last27=Ronald|first27=Pamela C|last28=Panaud|first28=Olivier|last29=Kellogg|first29=Elizabeth A|last30=Brutnell|first30=Thomas P|last31=Doust|first31=Andrew N|last32=Tuskan|first32=Gerald A|last33=Rokhsar|first33=Daniel|last34=Devos|first34=Katrien M|display-authors=3|title=Reference genome sequence of the model plant Setaria|journal=Nature Biotechnology|volume=30|issue=6|year=2012|pages=555–561|issn=1087-0156|doi=10.1038/nbt.2196|pmid=22580951|s2cid=4003879|url=https://cloudfront.escholarship.org/dist/prd/content/qt2rv1r405/qt2rv1r405.pdf|doi-access=free}} Genetic comparisons also confirm that S. viridis is the antecedent of S. italica.

The earliest evidence of the cultivation of this grain comes from the Peiligang culture of China, which also cultivated Panicum miliaceum, but foxtail millet became the predominant grain only with the Yangshao culture. More recently, the Cishan culture of China has been identified as the earliest to domesticate foxtail millet around 6500–5500 BC.{{cite journal|last1=Stevens|first1=C.

Foxtail millet arrived in Europe later; carbonized seeds first appear in the second millennium BC in central Europe. The earliest definite evidence for its cultivation in the Near East is at the Iron Age levels at Tille Hoyuk in Turkey, with an uncorrected radiocarbon date of about 600 BC.

As with some other cereals the waxy gene contributes to glutinousness. The wild relative Setaria viridis provides genetic resources useful for foxtail breeding.{{cite journal | issue=4 | year=2022 | last1=Sun | first1=Yanqing | last2=Shang | first2=Lianguang | last3=Zhu | first3=Qian-Hao | last4=Fan | first4=Longjiang | last5=Guo | first5=Longbiao | volume=27 | pages=391–401 | journal=Trends in Plant Science | issn=1360-1385 | s2cid=244081566 | pmid=34782248 | doi=10.1016/j.tplants.2021.10.006 | title=Twenty years of plant genome sequencing: achievements and challenges}}{{cite journal | year=2020 | issue=10| display-authors=3 | last1=Mamidi | first1=Sujan | last2=Healey | first2=Adam | last3=Huang | first3=Pu | last4=Grimwood | first4=Jane | last5=Jenkins | first5=Jerry | last6=Barry | first6=Kerrie | last7=Sreedasyam | first7=Avinash | last8=Shu | first8=Shengqiang | last9=Lovell | first9=John T. | last10=Feldman | first10=Maximilian | last11=Wu | first11=Jinxia | last12=Yu | first12=Yunqing | last13=Chen | first13=Cindy | last14=Johnson | first14=Jenifer | last15=Sakakibara | first15=Hitoshi | last16=Kiba | first16=Takatoshi | last17=Sakurai | first17=Tetsuya | last18=Tavares | first18=Rachel | last19=Nusinow | first19=Dmitri A. | last20=Baxter | first20=Ivan | last21=Schmutz | first21=Jeremy | last22=Brutnell | first22=Thomas P. | last23=Kellogg | first23=Elizabeth A. | volume=38 | journal=Nature Biotechnology | issn=1087-0156 | pages=1203–1210 | s2cid=222151529 | doi=10.1038/s41587-020-0681-2 | title=A genome resource for green millet Setaria viridis enables discovery of agronomically valuable loci| pmid=33020633 | pmc=7536120 }}
