A set of promising small millet varieties were short listed from among the collected traditional as well as improved varieties of each of the four focused small millet crops. Varying numbers of farmers’ preferred varieties were identified in the four small millet crops for each site, namely, Anchetty (4), Bero (4), Semilguda (3), Jawadhu Hills (3 in finger millet and 5 in little millet), Dumbriguda (2), Nepal (6), Sri Lanka (3), and Peraiyur (3 in barnyard millet and 1 in kodo millet). Experimental trials were conducted with analysis of agronomic performance and farmer assessments for preference. Feedback charts are provided.
