Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum] is the sixth most important cereal crop after rice, wheat, maize, barley and sorghum. Pearl millet being a climate-resilient crop is important to minimize the adverse effects of climate change and has the potential to increase income and food security of farming communities in arid regions. It has high photosynthetic efficiency with an excellent productivity and growth in low nutrient soil conditions and is less reliant on chemical fertilizers. The growth duration of pearl millet is 2.5-4 months, depending on cultivars and the environment under which it is grown. Pearl millet is also nutritionally superior and rich in micronutrients such as iron and zinc and can mitigate malnutrition and hidden hunger.
