Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.)R.Br.] one of the common millets grown as a nutrient-rich food source for human and as a fodder crop for livestock. Among the several diseases, the blast caused by Pyricularia grisea (Cooke) Sacc. has emerged as a serious disease affecting both forage and grain production in pearl millet resulting economic loss.Survey was carried out in major pearl millet growing districts of Madhya Pradesh viz., Morena, Bhind, Gwalior, Sheopur, Shivpuri, Datia, jhabua, Alirajpur presented in Table 7 to find out the incidence of Blast during July to nov.

Time series prediction is a vital problem in many applications in nature science, agriculture, engineering and economics. The objective of the study is to examine the flexibility of artificial neural network model (ANN) in time series forecasting by comparing with classical time series ARIMA model. The data consist of area and production of Pearl millet (bajra) crop area („000 ha) and production („000 MT) from 1955-56 to 2014-15 were collected from “Agricultural Statistics at a Glance 2014-15, Karnataka, India were used in the study to demonstrate the effectiveness of the model.

Smut caused by Moesziomyces penicillariae is one of the major pearl millet diseases in India. in order to find out cost effective, economical and ecofriendly method to manage the disease attempts were made to identify the resistant sources of smut by germplasm screening. The field screening involved the artificial inoculation of the germplasm. Observations on smut severity were recorded 15-20 days after inoculation using smut severity (%) rating scale.

Downy mildew, caused by Sclerospora graminicola (Sacc.) Schroet, is a disease of great economic significance in the production of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum). Host physiology particularly host metabolites and oxidising enzymes get disturbed due to attack of Sclerospora graminicola. Altered state of oxidative enzyme plays an important role in plant metabolism during pathogenesis. In the present investigation biochemical characterization of pearl millet genotypes - HHB 223 and 7042 S was carried out at 30, 40, 50 and 70 DAS.

Almatti Left Bank Canal from Upper Krishna Project command area of the Karnataka state was selected for the purpose of analysing the changes in cropping pattern. The time series data on cropping pattern in selected canal command area were collected for a period of 10 years (2009-10 to 2018-19) and analysed using First Order Markov Chain Approach. In Almatti Left Bank Canal command area, maize crop was grown for fodder purpose while sunflower fetched high price and pearl millet was the main food in the command area. Hence, area under these crops remained stable.
