sorghum
சோம்பல் நீக்கும் சோளம்
Sorghum, (also known as Jowar) is the world’s fifth major cereal food crop in terms of production and acreage after rice, wheat, maize and barley. In India, the sorghum grains are used mainly for food while the stover after harvest of grains is highly valuable as nutritive fodder to animals. The grains are also used for poultry feed and has other industrial uses such as potable alcohol production. Sorghum scientifically known as C4 plant, is one of the most energy efficient crops in use of solar energy and water to produce food and biomass. The crop has inherent drought tolerant nature and can be grown under wide range of environmental conditions. In the semi-arid regions sorghum is a dual-purpose crop, as both grain and stover are highly valued for human and animal consumption, respectively.
barnyard millet
குதிரை பலம் பெற குதிரைவாலி குதிரைவாலி தந்திடுமே குறைவில்லா வாழ்வு
Barnyard millet is predominantly cultivated in India, China, Japan, and Korea for food as well as fodder. Japanese and Indian species of this millet are vigorous and have a wide adaptation in terms of soil and moisture requirements. They grow well in different seasons and at higher elevations, but require three to four months for maturation. It is cultivated on marginal lands where rice and other crops will not grow well. Barnyard millet is an erect plant 60-130 cm tall and spikelets are brownish to purple. It is grown for both grain and fodder in India especially in the hilly tracts of Uttarkhand, Eastern Asia and parts of Africa, and in the Eastern USA it has been a valuable forage crop. A relative, Australian millet (Echinocloa decompositum), is used by the aborigines of that continent as a cereal grain.

kodo millet
வரகு உண்டால் வருங்காலம் வரவு
Kodo millet is native to the tropical and sub-tropical regions of South America and domesticated in India 3,000 years ago. Kodo millet is extensively grown on the poorest of soils throughout India but is probably not cultivated to any extent elsewhere. It is reputed to be extremely hardy, drought resistant and grows on stony or gravelly soils which would not support other crops. It is relatively long in duration requiring four to six months to mature compared with two to four months for the other miIlets. Short duration varieties have now been developed. Kodo is an annual tufted grass that grows up to 90 cm high. The grain is enclosed in hard, corneous, persistent husks that are difficult to remove. The grain may vary in colour from light red to dark grey.
little millet
சாமை உண்டால் ஆமை வயது King of Sweets
Little millet was domesticated in the Eastern Ghats of India occupying a major portion of diet amongst the tribal people and spread to Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Myanmar. Little millet appears related to proso but is generally shorter, has smaller panicles and seeds, and is grown on a limited scale voluntarily or with minimum care on poor lands. Little millet matures quickly and withstands both drought and water logging. Less genetic diversity occurs in the world collections of this species than appears among the other species and the grains are similar to that of rice. Perhaps very little of this species is grown outside of India

browntop millet
A native of India, has relatively limited cultivation to the parts of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, though its occurrence as a weed is noted in all states of India. It is primarily used as a food crop in India. . It can be grown even in less fertile sandy loam soils and matures in 60-80 days and is the most inexpensive crop to grow and does not need weeding and has no serious pests and diseases. In the United States as much as 100,000 acres are grown annually chiefly in Georgia, Florida and Alabama for hay and pasture; while the seed provides feed for quail, doves and other game birds. As a fodder crop it is finer-stemmed and quicker growing than pearl millet.
finger millet
கேழ்வரகு சர்க்கரையே விலகு ராகியில் பலகாரம் கால்சியத்தின் அதிகாரம்
Finger millet is an important primary food especially for the rural populations of Southern India and East & Central Africa. Finger millet or ragi can be grown under wide range of adaptation ie from sea level to hilly regions of Himalayas but thrives best under well drained, loamy type of soils. About 60% of finger millet is produced by the state of Karnataka which is about 34% of global production. Finger millet is a dwarf, highly tillering plant with characteristic finger like terminal inflorescences. The height of a mature plant ranges from 30-150 cm and the seeds are very small like mustard and are light brown, or dark brown or white in color. The crop matures in 3-5 months depending on the variety and growing conditions. The grains of finger millet are rich in quality protein having high amounts of tryptophan, cystine and methionine, fiber (10-15% dietary fiber), phytochemicals, calcium and other minerals

Pearl millet is the most widely cultivated cereal in India after rice and wheat. Pearl millet is the most widely cultivated cereal in India after rice and wheat. It is grown on more than 9.3 m ha with current grain production of 9.5 m tons and productivity of 1044 kg/ha. The major pearl millet growing states are Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana which account for more than 90% of pearl millet acreage in country. . Pearl Millet commonly known as Bajra in India is rich in essential compounds like protein, fiber, phosphorous, magnesium and iron. Due to its rich composition of minerals and proteins, pearl Millet has many health benefitting properties.

proso millet
பனிவரகு புற்று நோயே விலகு
Proso millet is a short-season crop cultivated in drier regions of Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and North America. Also called common or broom corn millet is a relatively short-duration emergency or quick-season irrigated crop with low moisture requirements. It is a relatively low-demanding crop with no known diseases. Proso millet is well suited for many soil types and climate conditions. Proso millet is highly drought-resistant, which makes it of interest to regions with low water availability and longer periods without rain. Compared to all millets proso is a short season crop, reaching maturity in 60 to 75 days after planting. It is most frequently grown as a late seeded summer crop. Proso millet grows three to four feet tall. Its compact panicle droops at the top like an old broom, hence the name broom corn. Its round seeds are about 1/8 inch wide and covered by a smooth, glossy hull Seeds may be cream, yellow, orange-red, or brown in color. The grain after hulling makes a nutritious and palatable cereal for unleavened bread or cooked. This millet was grown in Russia, China, the Balkan countries and Northern India in historical times, being later replaced in most areas by rice and other cereals.
foxtail millet
திணை இதயத்திற்கு துணை தினை உண்டால் தேக்கு போல் உடல் வலுவாகும்
Foxtail millet is the third largest crop among the millets, cultivated for food in semi-arid tropics of Asia and as forage in Europe, North America, Australia, and North Africa. Foxtail or Italian millet may well have unrealized potential for grain production. It forms a slender, erect, leafy stem varying in height from 1-5 feet. Seeds are borne in a spike-like, compressed panicle resembling yellow foxtail, green foxtail, or giant foxtail. The grains are very similar to paddy rice in grain structure. They contain an outer husk, which needs to be removed in order to be used. The Chinese claim exceptionally high yields sometimes exceeding 11,000 kg per ha. It is drought - resistant, grows at higher elevations (up to 600 feet) and is frequently sown as an alternate crop with sorghum on black cotton soils when rainfall is deficient. It also grows well on loamy or alluvial and clayey soils. China grows most of the world’s crop, but some Italian millet is grown in India, Japan, and Russia. In the USA. it is largely sown for fodder.

teff
Tef is more like a grass, can be grown under a wide range of conditions, including situations not suitable for other cereals. It bears very tiny seeds which are highly nutritious, especially in protein content. The primary use of teff is for grinding into flour to make injera, the spongy fermented flat bread that is a staple food for most Ethiopians. This crop needs minimum tillage to cultivate, though productivity is less. A handful of teff is enough to sow a typical field, and it cooks quickly, using less fuel than other foods.
Teff, an ancient grain going back to the civilizations of Abyssinia, is a whole grain cereal crop and is the staple food crop of Ethiopia. It is gluten-free and has high resistant starch. It is a good choice for those suffering with celiac disease, for better diabetes management and weight control.
