Effects of Biochar Application on Soil Fertility and Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) Yield
… properties, inorganic nitrogen supply, and pearl millet production responses under field conditions for two growing seasons (2014 and 2015). Biochar application to temperate soils (Blacksburg) significantly increased total soil carbon, nitrogen, and plant available potassium in both years. …

Genotypic differences in lodging and Mechanical strength in stalks and Peduncles of Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.)
… in lodging and mechanical strength tests among pearl millets, pearl millet x Napier grass (PMxNG) lines, test crosses and sorghum. In 1987 field lodging ranged from 0 to 98%. Test crosses with PMxNG lines lodged worse on average than the millets or sorghum, but they were superior to the millets …

Identification of endophytic bacterial communities associated with South African crops: sorghum bicolor (L. Moench), pennisetum glaucum and arachis villosulicarpa
… food crops, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) and groundnut (Arachis villosulicarpa) is investigated using culture-independent techniques: terminal retriction fragment length polymorphism (t- RFLP) and next generation sequencing (NGS). The first objective of …

The Prolamins of Pearl Millet
<p>Although work on the prolamins of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) has revealed partial amino acid sequences for several alcohol-soluble storage proteins (Marcellino et al. 2002) the genes encoding them have not yet been isolated. We constructed a cDNA library from developing P. glaucum seed …

Conservation agriculture in Senegal: comparing the effects of intercropping and mulching on millet yields
… agronomic inputs all contribute to low yielding millet production systems. This study was initiated to assess the potential for intercropping either cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) or mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) into traditional pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) …

Pearl Millet Nutritional Quality and Fertilization of Sweet Corn in Senegal
… more work is needed to confirm this finding. Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L) R. Br.) is the most widely grown staple crop in Senegal. Introduction of drought tolerant millet genotypes has helped mitigate the effect of increased water shortage in the region, but little is known about the …
