| Description |
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is considered to be a short-day species that flowers, or flowers earlier, when day lengths are short. A few studies with two to six planting dates and few selected entries have been conducted in USA (Burton 1965), Senegal (Ramond 1968), and India (Patil et al. 1978, Das 1991). However, there is no known research on the flowering response of pearl millet to photoperiod changes over the entire year. Likewise, knowledge about the photoperiod-sensitivity in West and Central African pearl millets is insufficient. |
