INTRODUCTION This study was undertaken with the objectives of formulating composite bread by utilising finger millet flour and foxtail millet flour and further to evaluate these breads for sensory, nutritional qualities, and glycemic response. METHODS Two genotypes of finger millet VL-146 and PRM-601 and one local cultivar of foxtail millet were studied. The finger millet flour (FMF) and foxt...

one of the most effective ways to reach yield stability with low input is increasing diversity through utilizing intercrops in agro-ecosystems. a field experiment based on a randomized complete block design with six treatments and three replications and two crops, green pea and nutrifed millet, was carried out at research farm of agriculture and natural resources of kerman during growing season...

an isolated fusarium anthophilum (a. braun) wollenweber (isolate 16c) has been considered as a candidate for microbial control of barnyard grass [echinochloa crus-galli (l.) p. beauv]. the effects of nutrition on conidiation, germination rate and germ-tube elongation of conidia of the fungus were evaluated. conidia yield, conidial germination and conidial germ-tube elongation of the fungus grow...

in this experiment which was conducted at a field of ramin agriculture and natural resources university (khouzestan, iran) in 2005, the effect of molinate at 0 (weedy check), 2.16, 3.6 and 5 kg/ha and seeding rate of 100, 120 and 140 kg/ha was evaluated on the competition between rice and barnyard grass (echinochloa crus-galli) in a split plot design with four replication. the interaction effec...

The availability of well-validated informative co-dominant microsatellite markers and saturated genetic linkage map has been limited in foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.). In view of this, we conducted a genome-wide analysis and identified 28 342 microsatellite repeat-motifs spanning 405.3 Mb of foxtail millet genome. The trinucleotide repeats (∼48%) was prevalent when compared with dinucleoti...

The purpose of this study was to compare in vitro digestibility, protein distribution patterns, and amino acid composition of pearl millet with other major cereals. Digestibility values for the pearl millet varieties were higher than that of sorghum and comparable to that of maize. In contrast to sorghum, digestibility of pearl millet and maize did not decrease significantly upon cooking. Prote...

Dietary quality should be taken into consideration for maintaining overall maximization of human health and solving the problem of deep rooted food insecurity and malnutrition so millet has good option to overcome it. Millets are small seeded and minor cereals of the grass family (Poaceae) and are characterized by their ability to survive in less fertile soil, resistance to pests and diseases, ...

intercropping is considered for increasing and stability of yield in per unit. in order to study the effects of soybean (glycine max l.) and millet (panicum miliaceum l.) replacement intercropping on agronomic traits, diversity of weeds and soil biological activity, an experiment was conducted at the research station of agricultural faculty, of bu-ali sina university, in 2014. the experiment wa...
