Additional Information
Description
Millets are typically grown as annuals and range in height from 30 to 130 cm (1 to 4 feet), with the exception of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), which has stalks 1.5 to 3 metres (5 to 10 feet) tall and about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick. The inflorescences may be spikes or racemes, in which the flowers are borne on stalks of about equal length along an elongated axis, or panicles with dense clusters of small florets. With the exception of pearl millet, seeds remain enclosed in hulls after threshing. Hulled seeds are usually creamy white.
Compared with other grains, millets are generally are more tolerant of poor soils and drought. They can withstand a range of harsh growing conditions and often need fewer inputs like fertilizers and pesticides. In addition, some deep-rooted varieties can reduce erosion and help mitigate desertification.
