Calcium deficiency during child growth leads to osteoporosis in later stages of life. Finger millet is one the calcium dense foods, with three times level than milk, and only cereal that contains high content which consistent across different varieties (364 ± 58 mg/100 g). Thus, finger has potential for addressing naturally. This study aimed determine retention impact on bone turnover through a...

The study was carried out to evaluate the effects of complete replacement of maize with two varieties of guinea corn and two varieties of millets on the growth performance and nutrient retention in broiler chickens. Five isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets for the broiler starter (23.5% CP; 2800 kcal/ME) and finisher (21.5% CP; 2900 kcal/ME) phases were formulated. Diet 1 consisted on a maize b...

 It is one of the most nutritious millet and staple food in different states of India and Pseudomonas sp. MSSRFD41  MSSRFD41 was isolated from finger millet rhizosphere soil samples. 16S rRNA gene sequence shows maximum 98.77% similarity and forms monophyletic clade with closely related species.  It produces 2,4-DAPG, HCN, AHLs, IAA, solubilises phosphate and tolerates 1 M NaCl.  Exhibits p...

Background: The key focus of crop diversification is the selection compatible crops for increasing biodiversity, efficient use resources and enhancing system productivity. Monocropped coconut gardens provide ample scope through inclusion several as intercrops. present study was conducted to assess feasibility intercropping maize, finger millet, black gram green in garden. Methods: Field experim...

Finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.] grows in upland rainfed conditions customarily at disadvantageousregions of the country. Evaluation genetic diversity and choice parents is crucial step to augmenting desired improvement crops towards grain fodder yield. In present study, 31 finger genotypes were studied for employing cluster principal component analysis (PCA) G. B. Pant University...
