Abstract

The term "Millets" is a collective name for eight different cereals grown mostly under rainfed conditions.. The more important among them-Cholam, Cumbu and Ragi form the major millets and Samai, Varagu, Kudiraivali, Tenai and Panivaragu which are of lesser importance are called minor millets. The above mentioned cereals thrive in areas of low fertility and rainfall and form the staple food of the population in areas where they are extensively cultivated. Millets are also very important fodder crops and are grown practically in all the districts of the State, except in the heavy rainfall districts.
