abstract: With the continuing
degradation of namral resource
base, adverse climate change effects
on crop production and increasing
crop cultivation cost, there is growing
awareness of the s ig nifi cant role ,
pearl millet can play in addressing the
national food security. Further, with
the increasing incidence of various
li fe style diseases and emphasis on
food-based solutions, there is a reappra
isal of its nutr iti ve value
contributing to nutriti onal security.
Considering the relatively limited
investments both from public and
private sector in pearl millet
improvement in India, and negligible
strategic resea rch information
generated elsewhere) it is pnldent to
rationalize research priorities in terms
of target environments, germplasm to
be used, plant traits to be improved,
and cultivar types to be developed, all
o f which contribute to enhanced
breeding efficiency and improved
cultivar development.
