Paspalum scrobiculatum
''Paspalum scrobiculatum'', Kodo millet (Tamil: Varagu), is an annual grain that is grown in primarily in India, but also in the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and in West Africa where it originates. It is grown as a minor crop in most of these areas, with the exception of the Deccan plateau in India where it is grown as a major food source.〔|"Millets". Earth360. (2010-13). http://earth360.in/web/Millets.html〕 It is a very hardy crop that is drought tolerant and can survive on marginal soils where other crops may not survive, and can supply 450–900 kg of grain per hectare 〔Heuzé V., Tran G., Giger-Reverdin S. "Scrobic (Paspalum scrobiculatum) forage and grain". Feedipedia.org. (2012). http://www.feedipedia.org/node/401.〕 Kodo millet has large potential to provide nourishing food to subsistence farmers in Africa and elsewhere.
==Description==
Kodo millet is a monocot and an annual grass that grows to heights of approximately four feet.〔"Kodomillet". United States Department of Agriculture. (No date given, accessed November 11, 2013). http://plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=Pasc6〕 It has an inflorescence that produces 4-6 racemes that are 4–9 cm long. Its slender, light green leaves grow to be 20 to 40 centimeters in length. The seeds it produces are very small and ellipsoidal, being approximately 1.5 mm in width and 2 mm in length; they vary in colour from being light brown to a dark grey. Kodo millet has a shallow root system which may be ideal for intercropping.〔Heuzé V., Tran G., Giger-Reverdin S. "Scrobic (Paspalum scrobiculatum) forage and grain". Feedipedia.org. (2012). http://www.feedipedia.org/node/401〕
