Pearl millet is one of the two major crops in the semiarid, impoverished, less fertile agriculture regions of Africa and southeast Asia. [43] Millets are not only adapted to poor, dry infertile soils, but they are also more reliable under these conditions than most other grain crops. [43] Millets, however, do respond to high fertility and moisture.
The species is known to have high levels of carbohydrate and protein. [24] These protein levels are seen with Digitaria exilis being rich in essential amino acids such as methionine compared to other cereals such as wheat, rice and maize. [25]
Proso millet is also a poor fodder due to its low leaf-to-stem ratio and a possible irritant effect due to its hairy stem. Foxtail millet, having a higher leaf-to-stem ratio and less hairy stems, is preferred as fodder, particularly the variety called moha, which is a high-quality fodder.
Industry experts project that the plant-based protein market could account for nearly 8 percent of the global protein market by 2030 (from a value of nearly $30 billion in 2020 up to $162 billion ...
Sorghum bicolor, commonly called sorghum [2] (/ ˈ s ɔːr ɡ ə m /) and also known as great millet, [3] broomcorn, [4] guinea corn, [5] durra, [6] imphee, [7] jowar, [8] or milo, [9] is a species in the grass genus Sorghum cultivated for its grain. The grain is used as food by humans, while the plant is used for animal feed and ethanol ...
Cereals are the world's largest crops by tonnage of grain produced. [82] Three cereals, maize, wheat, and rice, together accounted for 89% of all cereal production worldwide in 2012, and 43% of the global supply of food energy in 2009, [90] while the production of oats and rye has drastically fallen from their 1960s levels. [91]
Foxtail millet is an annual grass with slim, vertical, leafy stems which can reach a height of 120–200 cm (3 ft 11 in – 6 ft 7 in).. The seedhead is a dense, hairy panicle 5–30 cm (2 in – 1 ft 0 in) long.
New tests done by the Environmental Working Group have found 21 oat-based cereals and snack bars popular amongst children to have "troubling levels of glyphosate." The chemical, which is the ...
