Abstract

Developed from the ICRISAT Bold Seeded Early Composite population, this pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) cultivar (PI591068) was released in 1993 under the designation ICMV221 as a higher yielding alternative to ICTP8203 in all pearl millet producing regions of India except central and western Rajasthan and northern Gujarat that receive <400 mm mean annual rainfall. ICMV88904 has good resistance to Sclerospora graminicola and is less affected by Tolyposporium penicillariae than single-cross hybrid cultivars produced using the A1 CMS system.
