        <dc:description>Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is the staple food of majority of&#13;
the poor and small land holders, as well as a source of feed and fodder for&#13;
livestock in the rainfed regions of the country. Pearl millet excels all other&#13;
cereals because it is a C4 plant with high photosynthetic efficiency and dry&#13;
matter production capacity. It requires less inputs, matures in short&#13;
duration and is considered as nutritious food, feed and fodder. It is usually&#13;
grown under the most adverse agro-climatic conditions where other crops&#13;
like sorghum and maize fail to produce economic yields. In India, pearl&#13;
millet is the third most widely cultivated food crop after rice and wheat. It&#13;
is grown on 7.128 million ha with an average productivity of 1132 kg/ha&#13;
during 2015-16 (Directorate of Millet Development, 2017; Project&#13;
Coordinator Review, 2017). The major pearl millet growing states are&#13;
Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana which&#13;
account for more than 90% of pearl millet acreage in the country. Most of&#13;
pearl millet in India is grown in rainy (kharif) season (June–September). It is&#13;
also cultivated during the summer season (February–May) in parts of&#13;
Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh; and during the post-rainy (rabi)&#13;
season (November–February) at a small scale in Maharashtra and Gujarat.</dc:description>
