Finger millet or ragi is the primary food source for millions of people in tropical dry land regions of Africa and Asia. Two field experiments were conducted to study the genotypic variation for silicon accumulation and the effect of foliar applied silicic acid on growth, nutrient uptake and blast disease resistance of ragi. Study showed a significant varietal variation for Si accumulation with an average Si content of 1.67 % in the above ground part.

The present study was carried out to understand the extent of morphological and molecular variability between cultivated finger millet genotypes of Indian and African origin and weedy E. coracana and E. africana genotypes. A total of 28 genotypes representing cultivated varieties (E. coracana) from India and Africa, wild species (E. africana) and weedy types of E. coracana were grown in field and scored for 23 morphological traits. The African cultivated types were distinct from Indian types for many morphological traits.
