Influence of Seed Priming with Chemicals, Micronutrients and Bio-Inoculants on Growth and Yield Attributes in Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica L.)

Foxtail millet is commonly known as Italian millet, German millet, Siberian millet, and foxtail bristle grass. Foxtail millet grows 2–5 feet tall and can be cultivated in drier and cooler regions when compared with other millets. It is currently grown in China, India, Europe, particularly in Portugal, Turkey, Hungary, France and Spain, in Asia, primarily in Korea, Pakistan, Myanmar, Bhutan, Nepal, and South Africa. It is used for feeding birds and as livestock feed in the developed countries and for food in some parts of Asia.
