“…The increase in yield was mainly due to greater plant height plant -1 , stem diameter plant -1 , number of tillers plant -1 and leaf /stem ratio. These results confirm the findings of Bukhari (2009). Table 4-a there were significant effects (P< 0.05) of soil amendment treatments of yield and yield components among 1 st , 2 nd cuts and total fresh and dry yield.…”

“…The shortest crop (1.23 m) was the dryland treatment that also received no nitrogen fertilizer in 2017. The increase in plant height with increasing nitrogen fertilizer increments has been observed for other crops as well as for pearl millet [34,35].…”

Management of nitrogen and water plays a significant role in increasing crop productivity. A large amount of nitrogen (N) may be lost through leaching if these resources are not well managed. Wetting front detectors (WFDs) and Chameleon soil water sensors were used to adapt water and nitrogen applications with the goal of increasing millet yields, as well as nitrogen and water use efficiency. The trials were laid out as a randomized complete block design with factorial combinations of water and N, and included the following treatments: irrigation to field capacity (fortnightly and weekly), adaptive-water application based on sensor response or rainfed, and N treatments included either fixed nitrogen levels (0, 45, 90 kg N ha−1) or an adaptive-N rate, depending on N content of the soil solution extracted from WFDs. Adaptive management aims to steer water and nitrogen applications towards optimum crop requirements. Treatments that received both high water and nitrogen outperformed other treatments by 11% to 68% in terms of biomass production and 16% to 54% in grain yield, while water use efficiency and irrigation use efficiency values were also higher, ranging from 1.58 to 7.94 kg m−3 and 1.43 to 8.30 kg m−3. Results suggest that integrated adaptive water and nitrogen management should be considered to reduce high N losses and cost of crop production, without a meaningful yield penalty, relative to high production input management.

“…With regard to production of millets, India occupies a significant position in world productivity and marketability. For a long time, millet crops were valued by man because of their nutritional and edible qualities (Bukhari, Ayub, Ahmad, Mubeen, & Waqas, ). Though millets seem small‐seeded cereals but contain a number of dietary advantages (Dayakar, Bhaskarachary, Arlene Christina, Sudha Devi, & Tonapi, ).…”

Nutritional and functional roles of millets—A review

The available cultivable plant‐based food resources in developing tropical countries are inadequate to supply proteins for both human and animals. Such limition of available plant food sources are due to shrinking of agricultural land, rapid urbanization, climate change, and tough competition between food and feed industries for existing food and feed crops. However, the cheapest food materials are those that are derived from plant sources which although they occur in abundance in nature, are still underutilized. At this juncture, identification, evaluation, and introduction of underexploited millet crops, including crops of tribal utility which are generally rich in protein is one of the long‐term viable solutions for a sustainable supply of food and feed materials. In view of the above, the present review endeavors to highlight the nutritional and functional potential of underexploited millet crops. Practical applications Millets are an important food crop at a global level with a significant economic impact on developing countries. Millets have advantageous characteristics as they are drought and pest‐resistance grains. Millets are considered as high‐energy yielding nourishing foods which help in addressing malnutrition. Millet‐based foods are considered as potential prebiotic and probiotics with prospective health benefits. Grains of these millet species are widely consumed as a source of traditional medicines and important food to preserve health.
