Abstract
In southern Africa, finger millet (Eleurine corocono) (L.Gaertn.) is widely gravn In Tanzania, Zimbabwe. Zambia, and Malwi. The grain is used for food and brewing. It is sold at a higher price than maize in most areas and is consumed beyond its area of cultivation. Even though flnger millet is an important cash crop, the area is not expanding and production is not increasing due to the high cost of cultivation and the lack of improved seed.
