Overview

Bajra seeds, also known as pearl millet, are tiny nutritional wonders packed with a surprisingly high amount of protein, fiber, and essential minerals.

Planting:

Sowing Season:

  • Sow bajra seeds in the late spring or early summer, after the danger of frost has passed.

  • Sunlight: Bajra prefers a sunny location with well-drained soil.

  • Spacing: Sow seeds 1-2 inches deep and about 6 inches apart.

Growing:

  • Watering: Water regularly, especially during germination and hot weather.

  • Weed Control: Keep weeds under control to prevent competition for nutrients and moisture.

  • Harvesting: Bajra matures in about 60-70 days, indicated by the heads turning brown and the seeds becoming hard. Harvest by cutting the stalks just below the heads and threshing the seeds.
