Introduction of Canada Forage Pearl Millret (CFPM) 101
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glacum) is a tall, tropical cereal that originated in West Africa.In Africa and the Indian subcontinent it is used as a staple food crop.In the USA and Canada it is used as a forage crop.Pearl millet will grow to 10 to 14 feet tall during conditions of high temperatures and favorable moisture.Improved varieties such as CFPM 101 are very well suited for multiple cuts.A good stand of CFPM 101 will produce plants with relativ ely fine stems and profuse leafy growth.Pearl millet has a significantly higher leaf to stem ratio than other forages that results in good forage quality.The plant tends to tiller profusely under favorable climatic conditions and it compensates for uneven stand establishment.Pearl millet, like most crops, thrives best on rich soils, but it tolerates poor, infertile, low pH soils better than most other crops.It can be used for grazing, as a green chop and for silage.
