This book was released on 2015-06-22 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to its adaptation to extremely harsh environments, pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L) R. Br.) is one of the most important staple cereals cultivated in the arid and semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa. In these regions pearl millet is mainly produced under low-input, rainfed conditions in traditional farming systems, where several constrains are affecting pearl millet production, such as inter-annual rainfall variability, pests, diseases, Striga and use of low yielding varieties. The majority of the human population in these regions is affected by nutritional deficiencies of essential minerals causing micronutrient malnutrition (so-called ‘hidden hunger’). Plant genetic resources provide basic materials for selection and improvement of crop productivity through the optimal design of breeding programs to meet food security needs of the world’s rapidly rising population. The advent of PCR-based molecular markers such as simple sequence repeats (SSRs) has created an opportunity for fine-scale genetic characterization of germplasm collections. Understanding the structure of diversity and the identification of distinct materials with complementary traits for recombination by crossing provides the foundation for effective and sustained pearl millet population breeding and synthetic and hybrid development, based on the concept of heterotic groups in this allogamous crop.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experiment comprised of five male sterile lines and 30 inbred testers of pearl millet and their 150 hybrids was conducted at millet breeding station, Center for Plant Breeding and Genetics, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during 2005-2007 for studying the extent of hybrid vigour in F1 for grain yield and its components. Highest and significant negative relative heterosis, heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis was observed in the cross ICMA 94111A x PT 5259 and the same combination showed negative relative heterosis, heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis for the trait plant height. The cross combination ICMA 94111A x PT 5423 showed higher magnitude of positive relative heterosis and heterobeltiosis for the trait total number of tillers. Highest and significant positive standard heterosis was recorded in ICMA 88004A x PT 5164 for total number of tillers. The hybrid cross combination ICMA 94111A x PT 5423 showed highest and significant relative heterosis, heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis for total productive tillers. The hybrid ICMA 88004A x PT 5181 recorded highest and significant positive standard heterosis for ear head length and 100 grain weight, ICMA 88004A x PT 5200 for ear head girth. 13 hybrids recorded highly significant standard heterosis for grain yield per plant. among 150 hybrids studied, seven hybrids namely ICMA 88004 A x PT 5164, ICMA 88004 A x PT 5200, ICMA 88004 A x PT 5232, ICMA 88004 A x PT 5130, ICMA 88004 A x PT 5173, 732 A x PT 5172 and ICMA 88004 A x PT 5809 were selected as best crosses since they expressed high standard heterosis over standard hybrid (MBH163) for many of the traits studied for high grain yield.

This book was released on 2015-02-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. emend. Stuntz] commonly known as bajra, is an important drought hardy millet crop basically cultivated in the arid and semi-arid areas on light textured sandy soils. It is a dual purpose crop, grains are used for human consumption and its fodder as cattle feed. Pearl millet grains are eaten cooked like rice or 'chapattis' are prepared out of flour like wheat or maize flour and also used as feed for poultry and green fodder or dry karbi for cattle. India is the largest producer of pearl millet with an annual production of 10.05 million tonnes from an area of 8.69 million ha and productivity of 1156 kg ha-1. Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana are the major pearl millet growing states. Scientific scheduling of irrigation is a technique for determining the quantity of irrigation water, which also aim at optimizing crop yield with the maximum water use efficiency and ensures minimum deterioration of the soil and crop.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] production under subsistence farmer management on the sandy soils of southwestern Niger is faced with many challenges, including declining soil fertility, highly variable and scarce rainfall and poor resource base of the peasant farmers in the region. This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of management to increase yield and water use efficiency of pearl millet grown on two farmers' fields in Niger during two growing seasons, 2003 and 2004. The management practices tested were: 1) Five manure treatments (no manure, transported manure, current corralling, a year after corralling, and two years after corralling); 2) The microdose technology (20 kg di-ammonium phosphate ha-1, and 20 kg di-ammonium phosphate ha-1 + 10 kg urea ha-1); and lastly, 3) Three different pearl millet cultivars (Heini Kirei, Zatib, and ICMV IS 89305). In both growing seasons, manure had the greatest effect on the yield and water use of pearl millet at both sites. In 2003 grain yields were 389 kg ha-1 in the NM treatment and 1495 kg ha-1 in the C0 treatment at Banizoumbou whereas at Bagoua, the NM treatment had 423 kg ha-1 vs. 995 kg ha-1 in the C0 treatment. In 2004, the NM treatment at Banizoumbou had 123 kg ha-1 grain yield and the C0 treatment had 957 kg ha-1 whereas at Bagoua the NM treatment had 506 kg ha-1 vs. 1152 kg ha-1 in the C0 treatment. Residual effects of manure led to grain yields in the C1 and C2 treatments which were more than twice as high as in the NM treatment. The improved cultivars were generally superior for grain yields, whereas the local landrace was superior for straw yields at both sites. Root zone drainage was decreased by between 50 to 100 mm, and water use increased by the same amount in the current corrals at the two sites during the two growing seasons. Increased water use under corralling and presence of residual profile moisture at the end of each of the two seasons suggested that water did not limit pearl millet production at the two sites.
