Performances of Pearl Millet Hybrids under Arid Zone of western Rajasthan

Micronutrient Status of Soils under Legume Crops in Arid Region of Western Rajasthan, India

To asses the micronutrient status of soils under legume crop in arid region of Western Rajasthan a study was conducted. A total of 652 soil samples (445 samples of rhizosphere and 207 samples of non-rhizosphere) from farmer’s field were collected and analyzed for DTPA-extractable micronutrient status and soil properties. Content of micronutrient was in order of Mn> Fe> Cu> Zn. The DTPAMn, Fe, C...

Association of growth related seedling traits in under arid environment of western Rajasthan Acacia senegal

Nutritive value of proteins of pearl millet of high-yielding varieties and hybrids.

I . Two high-yielding varieties and three hybrids of pearl millet were evaluated for their chemical composition and protein efficiency ratio (PER) for rats at a level of 6.38% dietary protein. PER values ranged from 0.94 to 1.21 and were significantly different. 2. Tryptophan contents of the proteins were above the optimum level of the FA0 reference protein. Lysine content was deficient in all ...

Genetic enhancement of pearl millet and sorghum for the semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa

628 Abstract: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), ranking fifth and sixth in global cereal hectarage, respectively, are the most important coarse-grain cereals in the semi-arid tropical regions of Asia and Africa. Pearl millet displays better adaptation to and is grown in relatively more marginal environments than sorghum. Under subsistence f...

Reactions of sorghum-sudangrass hybrids and pearl millet to three species of Meloidogyne.

Sorghum-sudangrass hybrids and pearl millet, Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke., are grown extensively in the southeastern United States; the former is used for forage, seed, and summer cover crop and the latter, primarily for grazing, forage, and summer cover crop. The extended period during which these crops can be planted makes them especially adapted to a doublecropping system with winter-gr...
