description: Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a small‐cereal crop commonly called Millet. It has three generic names corresponding to three different types in the Hausa Language in Nigeria: Gero (early maturing), Maiwa (late maturing and photosensitive), Dauro (transplantable and photo-sensitive). Several dishes are made from millet and its flour across the Sahel region of West and Central Africa (WCA). The stem is primarily used for construction (houses and fences), the fodder and grain pericarp are important feeds for domestic livestock and poultry. Due to its resilience to drought stress, soil salinity/acidity and high temperatures compared to other cereals Pearl Millet survives well in agro-ecological zones where other cereals will not. Therefore, the crop has a noteworthy role in food and nutrition security of the drier regions of WCA.
