Abstract:

Millet product on in India is an important sector in the country’s agricultural sector. Millet product on has been steadily increasing in India over the past few decades, driven by increasing demand for the crop due to its growing popularity as a health food Millet product on in India is an important sector in the country’s agricultural sector.

Millet product on has been steadily increasing in India over the past few decades, driven by increasing demand for the crop due to its growing popularity as a health food. Millet production in India is an important sector in the country’s agricultural sector. It is a major source of income for millions of smallholder farmers. Millet production has been steadily increasing in India over the past few decades, driven by increasing demand for the crop due to its growing popularity as a health food. The little millet seeds cv. CO (Samai) 4 were soaked in hot and cold water with and without replacement of water and leaching, at different duration and also given leaching treatment in running water for different durations Among these leaching recorded the highest germination, seedling length, dry matter production and vigour index.


Keywords: Little millet, hot and cold water, leaching and germination
