Siridhanya Pearl Millet:
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum, P. typhoides, P. typhoideum, P. americanum) is the most widely grown of all millets. It is also known as bulrush millet babala, bajra, cumbu, dukhn, gero, sajje, sanio, or sound. Pearl millet is a traditional crop in Western Africa, particularly in the Sahel; in Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa; and in Asia, in India and Pakistan, and along the southern coast of the Arabian peninsula. Pearl millet has been recently introduced as a grain crop in the southeastern coastal plain of the United States, where it has been used as a summer forage. Pearl millet can be grown on poor, sandy soils in dry areas that are unsuitable for maize, sorghum, or finger millet. It is a summer cereal grass with large stems, leaves, and heads. It is more efficient in its utilization of moisture than sorghum or maize. The grain grows on condensed panicles (spiked) 10 to 150 cm in length. Pearl millet has the highest yield potential of all millets under drought and heat stress.
