Pearl millet is grown in environments that are drought-prone areas. The   climate change is expected to increase vulnerability in all agro-ecological   zones through rising temperature and more erratic rainfall, which will have   drastic consequences on food security. Pearl millet is the cereal crop that   has a great potential for ensuring food security and income generation in   marginal areas because of its suitability to the extreme limits of   agriculture. This study was carried out at the Jebel Kordofan experimental   site, Sheikan province in North Kordofan state during 2010-2012 seasons to   evaluate the effect of different sowing techniques on yield and rainfall   productivity of local and improved millet cultivars. Treatments were a   combination of four sowing techniques and two cultivars of pearl millet. The   sowing techniques were: dry sowing, wet sowing, deep dibbling (10-cm depth)   and priming with micro-dozing fertilizer. The two cultivars were Ashana   (improved) and Dembi (local). These treatments were arranged in a split-plot   design, the main plot for cultivars and subplot for sowing methods in four   replications. The parameters studied were days to 50% flowering, plant   height (cm), grain yield (kg/ha) and rainfall productivity (kg/ha/mm). The   cultivars showed highly significant differences in the number of days to 50%   flowering, plant height (cm), grain yield (kg/ha) and rainfall productivity   (kg/ha/mm). The dry sowing technique significantly (P ? 0.05) produced the   tallest plant (149cm), higher water use efficiency (5.10 kg/ha/mm) and the   highest grain yield (1637 kg/ha). It can be concluded that the seedbed   prepared with a chisel plough and sown on dry soil produced the highest   grain yield.
