Discuss the importance of nutrient and water management in the cultivation of minor millets. How can integrated nutrient management (INM) and moisture conservation practices enhance productivity in rainfed regions?
Nutrient needs and supplementation in suitable agronomic areas are not widely known or data easily accessible for new growers looking to produce minor millets. Minor millets are known to be drought tolerant leaving growers in the dark as far as best practices to utilize rain timing, soils' water holding capacity, surface residue from previous crops, tillage practices, and best crops in rotation. Recommendations can be university studied and made Internet accessible.
