| Products - Pearl Millet |
Pearl millet is the most important warm-season coarse-grain cereal cultivated in the arid and semi-arid tropics. It is a major source of dietary energy for poor people and fodder for livestock in drought prone areas with rainfall as low as 200 mm. To meet the requirement of these regions, Vibha Seeds Group has focuses research at all our three R&D centers on vigorous genetic enhancement and hybrid development for drought tolerance and higher grain and fodder yield; Further for disease downy mildew(DM) resistance screening, we use six hot spot locations. |
