Description:
Pearl millet is the choice crop in the semi-arid tropics. Strong winds, intense storms, high solar radiation and extreme temperatures are characteristics of these zones. Germination and seedling establishment are the major problems and are commonly associated with low moisture availability, high temperature of the soil and soil crusting. Water stress can affect germination by delaying initiation of germination, slowing rate of germination or by decreasing final germination percentage.
