This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Productivity of grain crops is highly sensitive to changing climates and crop management practices. Response of finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.] to high temperature stress, and intensive management practices such as increased seeding rates and fertilizer application are not clearly understood. The objectives of this research were to determine the effects of (a) season-long, and short episodes of high temperature stress on growth and yield traits of finger millet, (b) seeding rates and nitrogen fertilizer application rates on grain and biomass yield, and (c) to evaluate the finger millet minicore collection for high grain and biomass yield. Controlled environment studies were conducted to determine the effects of high temperature stress on physiological, growth and yield traits. Field studies were conducted in Manhattan and Hays (Kansas) and Alupe (Kenya) to determine the effects of seeding and nitrogen fertilizer rates on growth and yield traits. Finger millet minicore collection was evaluated under field conditions in India, for phenology, growth and yield traits. Season long high temperature stress of 36/26 or 38/28°C compared to 32/22°C decreased panicle emergence, number of seeds per panicle, grain yield and harvest index. Finger millet was most sensitive to short episodes (10 d) of high temperature (40/30°C) during booting, panicle emergence and flowering stages, resulting in lower number of seeds, and grain yield. Finger millet responded to the interaction between environmental (locations) and temporal (years) factors. In general, locations with higher rainfall had greater grain and biomass yield than those with low rainfall. There was no influence of seeding rates (3.2 or 6.0 kg ha−1) at Hays and Alupe. However, in one of the two years in Manhattan, higher seeding rate of 6.0 kg ha−1 increased grain yield compared to 3.2 kg ha−1. There was no influence of nitrogen rates (0, 30, 60 or 90 kg ha−1) on grain or biomass yield at all three locations. However, higher fertilizer rates had greater percentage lodging. The finger millet minicore collection displayed large ranges for most quantitative traits including days to flowering, plant height, number of fingers panicle−1, grain yield, biomass yield, and lodging; and had>60% heritability. Some of the genotypes from the minicore collection have the potential to increase grain and biomass yield and abiotic stress tolerance of finger millet.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study was envisaged to establish the adaptability of Finger millet (Eleusine coracana Gaertn L.) crop during dry season with prevalent high temperature, economic utilization of fallow lands with moderate moisture and nutrients. It has also recorded the response of the plants during its exposure to extreme environments. Finger millet can be grown in all seasons, kharif, rabi and zaid. The world wide production of the crop is 4.5 million tons of grain, and nearly half of the contribution is from African countries. Though considered as a dry land crop, it is cultivated in the receiving rain fall range of 50- 100cms per year. It can be raised both as irrigated and rain fed crop. Finger millet is considered superior to wheat as it contains high in starch and easily digestible proteins. It is a highest iron content grain with high levels of methionine, an amino acid lacking in the diets of hundreds of millions of people who depend on starchy foods, such as cassava. Dietary management with Finger millet can also controls diabetes. The grains are a very good source of calcium for growing children and aged people who need calcium supplement.

This book was released on 2023-04-19 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers different physiological processes, tools, and their application in crop breeding. Each chapter emphasizes on a specific trait/physiological process and its importance in crop, their phenotyping information and how best it can be employed for crop improvement by projecting on success stories in different crops. It covers wide range of physiological topics including advances in field phenotyping, role of endophytic fungi, metabolomics, application of stable isotopes, high throughput phenomics, transpiration efficiency, root phenotyping and root exudates for improved resource use efficiency, cuticular wax and its application, advances in photosynthetic studies, leaf spectral reflectance and physiological breeding in hardy crops like millets. This book also covers the futuristic research areas like artificial intelligence and machine learning. This contributed volume compiles all application parts of physiological tools along with their advanced research in these areas, which is very much need of the hour for both academics and researchers for ready reference. This book will be of interest to teachers, researchers, climate change scientists, capacity builders, and policy makers. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, physiology, botany, ecology, and environmental sciences. National and international agricultural scientists will also find this a useful resource.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) is native to Ethiopian region of Africa. Some reports, however, indicate that the secondary centre of origin of this species is India or China. In India Finger millet is known as Ragi. The wide adaptability of the crop can be attributed to its C4 nature. It is rich in polyphenols and particular in calcium. Millets are important diet especially for pregnant women, nursing mother and children, daily consumption of millets reduces the incidence of cardiovascular disease; duodenal ulcer and hyperglycaemia (diabetes). It has been projected that global food production must increase by 70% by 2050 to meet the food and nutritional needs of a growing population, agriculture will need to enhance on productivity in a sustainable way, Therefore, an eco-friendly cultivation of Ragi be recommended with careful crop management through bio-fertilizers to enhance plant performance and seed yield to food security.
