Abstract

Pearl Millet is highly valuable in semi-arid regions and the sixth most important cereal in the world, after rice, wheat, maize, barley and sorghum. It has a very high level of photosynthetic efficiency, a short duration, a higher capacity to produce dry matter, and a higher adaptation to drought, soil salinity, soil acidity, and high temperatures. Pearl millet is nutritionally comparable and even superior to major cereals with respect to protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals. It contained 10.0-60.0g calcium, 5.0g fat, 11.6g protein, 1.2g crude fibre, 67.5g carbohydrates, 2.3g mineral matter and 296g phosphorus. Dieticians and many health professionals recommended Pearl millet because of its various health benefits and good effect on the body.
