According to a new study, India’s core pearl millet or Bajra production zone has shifted to 18 districts spread across eastern Rajasthan and Haryana between 1998 and 2017.
The study was conducted by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research – All India Coordinated Research Project on Pearl Millet (ICAR-AICRP).
It examined data from crop models and digital technology and suggested a revision of the Indian pearl millet Total Population Environments (TPE).
It also suggested that an increase in rainfall triggered by human-induced climate change has led to the pearl millet zone shifting.
