Abstract

 Millets are small grained cereals, the smallest of them include finger, kodo, foxtail, proso, little and barnyard millets. They are the staple food of the millions inhabitating the arid and semiarid tropics of the world. They are distributed in most of the Asian and African countries and parts of Europe. The grains of small millets, being nutritionally Superior to rice and wheat, provide cheap proteins, minerals and vitamins to poorest of the poor where the need for such ingredients is the maximum. Practically devoid of grain storage pests, the small millets have indefinite storage life. The untapped grain yield potential coupled with nutritional superiority makes the small millets potential future food crops particularly in the more difficult rainfed areas.

Keywords: Small Millets Classes of Seeds Seed Purity Pests, Diseseas.
