the poor and small land holders, as well as a source of feed and fodder for
livestock in the rainfed regions of the country. Pearl millet excels all other
cereals because it is a C4 plant with high photosynthetic efficiency and dry
matter production capacity. It requires less inputs, matures in short
duration and is considered as nutritious food, feed and fodder. It is usually
grown under the most adverse agro-climatic conditions where other crops
like sorghum and maize fail to produce economic yields. In India, pearl
millet is the third most widely cultivated food crop after rice and wheat. It
is grown on 7.128 million ha with an average productivity of 1132 kg/ha
during 2015-16 (Directorate of Millet Development, 2017; Project
Coordinator Review, 2017). The major pearl millet growing states are
Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana which
account for more than 90% of pearl millet acreage in the country. Most of
pearl millet in India is grown in rainy (kharif) season (June–September). It is
also cultivated during the summer season (February–May) in parts of
Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh; and during the post-rainy (rabi)
season (November–February) at a small scale in Maharashtra and Gujarat.","2017-09","published",,,,,"ICAR – All India Coordinated Research Project on Pearl Millet","Jodhpur, India",,,,,,,,,"ICAR",,,,"978-93-5279-718-9",,,,,,,"","http://www.aicpmip.res.in/Enhancing_Demand_of_Pearlmillet_as_Super_Grain.pdf","","",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
