Additionally, farmers evaluated "D. exilis" landraces on key agricultural characteristics. These included ease of processing, productivity, grain size, and facility of harvesting among many others. Based on the evaluations given by these farmers, it can be seen that the agronomic traits (traits that allow for a greater ease of growing to farmers) of "D. exilis" would be having a big and long stem, having a long panicle with many grains, and having a large grain size. These traits allow for easier growing and harvesting by farmers.
