Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a warm-season, C4 annual cereal primarily grown in Africa and India for food and fodder. It is also grown in the United States, mainly as a forage crop on a limited area. It is the sixth most important cereal crop in the world. More than 90 million people around the world rely on it as a food grain. It is known for its drought and heat tolerance ...

Abstract In this research, the physical properties of millet grains such as length, width, thickness, weight a thousand and size were studied for six varieties represented by Proso grown in Iraq imported foxtail (Ukrainian (1) - Russian (2)), finger small addition to sorghum. study, was superior grain length 1) character while highest value. Before soaking cultivars under bulk density one (0.66...

Abstract Assessing the risk of yield loss in African drought-affected regions is key to identify feasible solutions for stable crop production. Recent studies have demonstrated that Copula-based probabilistic methods are well suited such assessment owing reasonably inferring important properties terms exceedance probability and joint dependence different characterization. However, insufficient ...

Dietary quality should be taken into consideration for maintaining overall maximization of human health and solving the problem of deep rooted food insecurity and malnutrition so millet has good option to overcome it. Millets are small seeded and minor cereals of the grass family (Poaceae) and are characterized by their ability to survive in less fertile soil, resistance to pests and diseases, ...

An experiment was conducted to determine population changes and niche variation in the soil at two depths (0 to 20 cm and 20 to 40 cm) of Paratrichodorus minor and Belonolaimus longicaudatus populations following fumigation. Eight plots each of potato (Solanum tuberosum) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), fumigated with 1, 3-dichloropropene or nonfumigated, were established. Eight p...

In the present study, multigrain fermented noodles were prepared using seera (fermented wheat starch), green gram, sorghum, and finger millet flours with different proportions. Then, optimized formulation was developed, cooking characteristics, sensory attributes, nutritional composition, in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) evaluated. The showed better overall acceptability. Compared to comme...

As an ancient cereal of great importance for dryland agriculture even today, foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is fast becoming a new plant genomic model crop. A genotypic analysis of 250 foxtail millet landraces, which represent 1% of foxtail millet germplasm kept in the Chinese National Gene Bank (CNGB), was conducted with 77 SSRs covering the foxtail millet genome. A high degree of molecular ...
