title: Occurance of intermediate forms (Shibras) in cultivated fields of pearl millet
creator: Singh, B B
subject: Millets
description: Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) cultivated over more than  2 m ha annually ranks 1st in the area and production in the Republic of  Niger, West Africa (Singh and Ouendeba, 1977). Niger falls within the  region of pearl millet domestication (Brunken et al. 1977), where wild,  weedy and cultivated forms occur in aboundance. Cultivated pearl millet  crosses with its wild relatives such as subspecies monodi (formarly known  as violaceum) and fallax which result into creation of intermediate weedy  forms which occur abundatly in many cultivated fields (Brunken et al.  1977). These intermediate forms continue to cross and back cross with  cultivated types and inter cross among themselves appear to be the major  factor land varieties inWest Africa (Scholz, 1979).....
