Pearl millet
(Cenchrus americanus, commonly known as the synonym Pennisetum glaucum; also
known as ragi) is the most widely grown type of millet. It has been grown in
Africa and the Indian subcontinent since prehistoric times. The center of
diversity, and suggested area of domestication, for the crop is in the Sahel
zone of West Africa. Recent archaeo botanical research has confirmed the
presence of domesticated pearl millet on the Sahel zone of northern Mali
between 2500 and 2000 BC
Pearl millet is well adapted to growing areas characterized by
drought, low soil fertility, and high temperature. It performs well in soils
with high salinity or low pH. Because of its tolerance to difficult growing
conditions, it can be grown in areas where other cereal crops, such as maize or
wheat, would not survive. Pearl millet is a summer annual crop well-suited for
double cropping and rotations.
