Preceding winter season crops and residue management practices on root: shoot characters,yield and economics of succeeding pearlmillet under no-ill tilled semi-arid ecosystem
Abstract: Conservation agriculture practices,such as no-tillage with residue recycling is a very popular feasible approach to increase the productivity and resource-use efficiency under rainfed ecosystem. A field experiment wasaccomplished at IARI, Pusa, NewDelhi toidentify suitable pearl millet based cropping systems mainly with wheat, chickpea and mustardalongwith the organic mulches,viz.no residues, crop residues and Leucaenatwigs applied to both summer and winter season crops grown in sequence during 2010–2011 and 2011-2012. Both rainy- …

Drought Tolerance in Pearl Millet- I
Abstract: Stress tolerance has long fascinated plant biologists as a challenge to understand the mechanism of plant survival under biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Exposure of plants to abiotic stresses, such as high salinity, drought, extreme light and temperature leads to major loss in crop productivity. Pearl millet is one such crop that has been facing drought conditions and less productivity of the crop. This article is a short review on …

Development of Extruded Product from Pearl Millet Flour Blended with Corn Flour: A Sensory Evaluation Approach
Abstract: Pearl millet, with its exceptional nutritional profile and agronomic characteristics, has yet to achieve widespread global popularity when compared to other cereal crops. To mitigate the restricted accessibility of millets and broaden their health advantages to remote areas, it is imperative to create universally accepted food items. Leveraging a twin-screw extruder offers meticulous management over the extrusion process variables, guaranteeing uniform product quality. The experiments were conducted with controlled independent …
