The nationally identified variety ‘CFMV 2/ Gira’ which is uniform maturing and developed through selection from local germplasm collected the Dangs district of Gujarat. A finger millet biofortified was tested as a culture ‘WN 559’ at State level ‘FMV 1118’ National level. It under different state trials Waghai, Varanasi Dahod centers in Gujarat 2014 to 2020. WN-559 (3551 kg/ha) performed well w...

 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...

Blast disease caused by the Magnaporthe species is a major factor affecting the productivity of rice, wheat and millets. This study was aimed at generating genomic information for rice and non-rice Magnaporthe isolates to understand the extent of genetic variation. We have sequenced the whole genome of the Magnaporthe isolates, infecting rice (leaf and neck), finger millet (leaf and neck), foxt...


 The ground samples of Pearl millet, Finger Foxtail millet and Proso were evaluated biochemically following nutrients determined i.e. moisture, ash, protein, fat, crude fiber, lignin cellulose. fiber feeds prepared with some necessary alterations to the Basic Purified Diet 93-G for rats, recommended by American Institute Nutrition (AIN). rats (n=36) divided equally into 6 groups. There tw...

Among the major food grains, finger millet [Eleucina coracana (L.) Gaertn] is one of the most nutritious crops. It is an important food crop in South Asia and Africa. The grain of finger millet has fine aroma when cooked or roasted and it is known to have many healthy promising qualities. It is a rich source of calcium and has good amount of magnesium, phosphorus and iron. Finger millet has a f...

Twenty-nine genotypes of finger millet including six checks namely VL324, VL347, VL348, VL352, VL315 and VL149 were used in the present study for estimating genetic diversity.  The revealed  highly significant variance all fourteen traits. coefficient varied between 4.62 14.41 per cent. Grain yield plot showed highest GCV (37.33%) PCV (40.02 %) followed by biological (26.21%) (29.75%)...

Millet is a common name for a group of polyphyletic, small-seeded cereal crops that include pearl, finger and foxtail millet. Millet species are an important source of calories for many societies, often in developing countries. Compared to major cereal crops such as rice and maize, millets are generally better adapted to dry and hot environments. Despite their food security value, the genetic a...
