Striga resistant genes have not been identified yet in cultivated finger millet but could be found in crop wild relatives of finger millet. [18] Another pathogen in finger millet cultivation is the fungus Helminthosporium nodulosum, causing leaf blight. [10] Finger millet pests are bird predators, such as quelea in East Africa. [2]
The crop is favoured for its productivity and short growing season under hot dry conditions. The millets are sometimes understood to include the widely cultivated sorghum; apart from that, pearl millet is the most commonly cultivated of the millets. [3] Finger millet, proso millet, and foxtail millet are other important crop species. Millets ...
Sorghum bicolor, commonly called sorghum [2] (/ ˈ s ɔːr ɡ ə m /) and also known as great millet, [3] broomcorn, [4] guinea corn, [5] durra, [6] imphee, [7] jowar, [8] or milo, [9] is a species in the grass genus Sorghum cultivated for its grain. The grain is used as food by humans, while the plant is used for animal feed and ethanol ...
ICRISAT performs crop improvement research, using conventional as well as methods derived from biotechnology, on the following crops: chickpea, [9] pigeonpea, [10] groundnut, [11] pearl millet, [12] sorghum, [13] finger millet, [14] teff, and small millets. ICRISAT's scientific information by topic, crop, location and resources is found on ...
Atherigona miliaceae, the finger millet shoot fly, is a species of fly in the family Muscidae. The larvae feed on the central growing shoots of crops such as finger millet , little millet , and proso millet .
For good crop development, fertilization with 50 to 75 kilograms (110 to 165 lb) nitrogen per hectare is recommended. [22] Planting proso millet in a crop rotation after maize should be avoided due to its same weed spectrum. Because proso millet is an undemanding crop, it may be used at the end of the rotation. [21]
Digitaria sanguinalis is a species of grass known by several common names, including hairy crabgrass, [2] hairy finger-grass, [3] large crabgrass, crab finger grass, purple crabgrass. [4] It is one of the better-known species of the genus Digitaria , and one that is known nearly worldwide as a common weed.
