Minor cereals such as barley and small millets contributed 1.13–1.73 1.95–2.78% to the total production acreage, respectively, during 2010–11 2020–21. The present study analyses trends in area, yield (2010–11 2020–21); breeding varieties seed chain of minor 2021–22. Barley acreage ranged between 7.0 lakh ha (2010–11, 2012–13) 5.9 (2019–20), registering a decline 18.6%. Production showed an incr...

The interaction between millet and European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), was investigated to gain insight into whether millet could serve as a refuge or trap crop for O. nubilalis management. In 1995, 1996, and 1999, millet selection studies were conducted in North Dakota and New York with four millet species. Proso millet, Panicum milliaceum L., had the highest infestation and wide...
