- Pennisetum glaucum is the scientific name for Pearl Millet, which belongs to the Grasses family.
- India is the world's leading pearl millet grower.
- Pearl millet is well-suited to conditions such as drought, low soil fertility, and high temperatures.
- Pearl millet is farmed on more than 26,000 square kilometers of land around the world.
- Pearl millet is a summer annual crop that is well-suited to double cropping and groundnut rotations.
• Soil- Clay loam soil.
• Cultivation- Arid-western plain.
• Susceptibility- Susceptible to pest diseases.
• Temperature- 33°–34°C.
• pH- 3.2
• Rainfall- Optimum rainfall requires 600 to 800 mm but pearl millet can be grown in areas that receive even less than 350mm of seasonal rainfall.
- If water is available during protracted dry spells, irrigation should be provided at important stages of crop growth, such as tillering, flowering and grain developmental stages.
- Pearl millet should be irrigated at regular intervals during the summer, depending on the crop's needs.
- Bajra is a rain-fed crop that requires little irrigation because of its drought resistance.
- It has been discovered that irrigating the crop at important growth stages such as maximal tillering, flowering, and grain filling will considerably improve production.
FOR IRRIGATION :
Irrigate your field with Power Plant Bhoomi power, Premium, and Root guard.
BHOOMI POWER
4KG/ACRE
POWER PLANT PREMIUM
1 LITRE/ ACRE
ROOT GUARD
2 KG/ACRE
HOW TO USE IT?
Use Bhoomi power by following methods.
1. By broadcasting over the field.
2. Use in slurry.
3. Give it in cow dung.
4. you can also give it in dry soil.
Note: Repeat Bhoomi power and Root guard every 3 months.
- Bajra can thrive in a variety of soil conditions.
- It grows best in black cotton soil, sandy loam soil with good drainage, and other similar conditions.
- This crop does not grow well in acidic or wet soil.
- When cultivating it, stay away from wet soil. It thrives in a low-pH environment.
- Bajra can be cultivated in areas where wheat and maize would fail.
PRODUCT RECOMMENDED:
Treat the seeds with Power Plant Seed Treatment.
DEFICIENCY OF NITROGEN
´Yellowing that starts at the tip and moves along the center of older leaves.
´Older leaves affected first.
´Leaves are small , uniformly light green or yellowish.
´Bark is yellowish orange.
´Fruit set may be reduced.
TREATMENT :
|
Use NITROKING 2-3 ml per litre of water |

DEFICIENCY OF SULFUR
´Sulphur deficiency is characterized by stunted growth, and general yellowing of plants.
´In some cases and interveinal pattern appears, the veins remaining green.
´Sulfur deficiency may also delay maturity of groundnut crop.
´ An acute sulfur deficiency causes the entire plant to turn yellow.
TREATMENT :
|
Use NITROKING 2-3 ml per litre of water |

DEFICIENCY OF POTASSIUM
´Firing…drying along tips and margins of older leaves crinkled tissue within the veins and chlorotic margins.
´Older leaves affected first, necrosis advancing from margins toward mid-rib.
´Margins may first appear light green and later turn necrotic.
´Smaller, poorly coloured and low acidity fruit.
