Finger millet is an important crop in India, known for its stress tolerance and health benefits. It is difficult to hybridize due to its small flowers, but a new male sterile line called PS1 has made hybridization easier. Over 140 finger millet varieties have been developed in India through hybridization and selection. The crop is in high demand due to its nutritional value. Improved production strategies, including selecting high-yielding varieties and market-led extension, are crucial for its success.
