Climate Resilient Pearl Millet Innovation lab – We had our complementary expertise on water stress adaptation to develop cultivars of pearl millet that are more resilient to harsh climatic conditions (especially in relation to water stress and high evaporative demand).
The difficulty of comparing crops species for their “drought tolerance” is that “tolerance” is often confused with simple differences in plant water needs. For instance peanut develops a larger leaf area, has longer duration and higher yield potential than cowpea, but needs more water to fulfil its growth cycle. Both peanut and cowpea are considered drought tolerant, but each species fits specific environments where the rainfall and length of the growing season matches their water and duration requirement.
