Effect of Integrated Technologies on Production and Productivity of Pearl Millet in the Dryland Areas of Wag Himira Administrative Zone, Eastern Amhara, Ethiopia

International Journal of Agronomy, 2020
Production of pearl millet with yield improvement would have a direct impact on the drought-prone areas of Ethiopia since pearl millet is drought tolerant and early maturing with high water use efficiency.

Herbage components in nitrogen‐fertilized and legume‐containing double‐cropped annual and perennial forages in eastern Nebraska

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Diverse perennial circular systems that focus on grazing offer many environmental benefits. However, the use of annual forages may be necessary where perennial pastures have declined. Our study sought to evaluate herbage components in a double‐cropped annual forage experiment with triticale [×Triticosecale Wittm. ex A. Camus (Secale × Triticum)

Spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping for crop water stress assessment: A review

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Water stress is a major limiting factor for crop productivity worldwide, and its impacts are intensifying due to climate variability and increasing water scarcity. This review focuses on the spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping as a critical approach to improving crop water‐stress assessment and supporting precision water ...

Development of a model estimating root length density from root impacts on a soil profile in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br). Application to measure root system response to water stress in field conditions.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Pearl millet is able to withstand dry and hot conditions and plays an important role for food security in arid and semi-arid areas of Africa and India. However, low soil fertility and drought constrain pearl millet yield.

Effect of organic and inorganic nutrients on pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum)- gobhi sarson (Brassica napus var. napus) cropping sequence

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
A pronounced residual effect of organic and inorganic nutrients, applied in pearl millet crop was observed on yields of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R Br]-gobhi sarson (Brassica napus L. var napus) cropping system.

Pearl millet demonstrates potential as a forage and cover crop in Wisconsin vegetable systems

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), a crop that is recognized for heat and drought tolerance and ability to suppress root‐lesion nematode (Pratylenchus penetrans), could serve as a suitable forage and cover crop for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and vegetable production systems in Wisconsin.

Cover crop and termination date effects on wheat forage biomass, nutrient content, and profitability

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Cover crops are being encouraged due to benefits to soil health and ecosystem services, but they could negatively affect subsequent forage production and system profitability in regions with limited water availability. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of cover crop treatment and termination date on wheat (Triticum ...

Advancing Thermotolerance in Beans: Integrating Physiology, Genomics, and Breeding for Climate Adaptation

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rising global temperatures increasingly threaten bean production and the food security of millions of people who depend on these protein‐rich legumes. Heat stress during the reproductive stages induces pollen sterility, flower abscission, and disruptions in source–sink relationships, resulting in yield losses of 30%–40% or more when critical ...
