Abstract
Harvest Plus Biofortification Program of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGJAR) has initiated the
development and dissemination of improved crop. Cultivars with elevated levels of these micromarients in several crops) including pearl
millet. Pearl millet) grown on 89
million ha in India) is major dryland cereal in the arid and semiarid
