Title High-Yielding Varieties and Variability in Sorghum and Pearl Millet Production in India
 
Creator Walker, T S
 
Subject Millets
Sorghum
 
Description The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi.Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) invests heavily in screening and breeding for resistance to yield reducers. The benefits to this research are derived primarily from enhanced output, increased equity, and improved nutrition. In theory, improved yield stability from more pest resistant and stress tolerant varieties could also lead to reduced farm, regional. and national production variability.
