Question 17

Why are millets so widely grown?

Answer

Millets are widely grown because they are hardy, drought and heat resistant plants that can be easily grown in areas of less rainfall. They can be grown in plains and on uplands up to 1200 meter in height. Millets do not have any special requirement as far as soil is concerned.
