What is Brown Top Millet?
Ever wondered about Brown Top Millet? This grain, scientifically known as Brachiaria ramosa, has been a dietary staple and livestock fodder for centuries worldwide. What sets it apart is its knack for thriving in tough conditions, demanding little water and resources while delivering top-notch nutrition. In India, it’s a star in rain-fed areas like Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, serving up as a whole grain or flour, often complementing other crops and even boosting farm biodiversity.
Additionally, Brown Top Millet can prevent soil erosion and conserve water in hilly areas, where conventional crops often fail to thrive. This was proven by a successful trial conducted in Koraput, Odisha, where Brown Top Millet was introduced as a new crop and showed promising results in terms of yield and quality.
