Online published on 31 March, 2014. Abstract Researches undertaken on the introduction and evaluation of some tropical pear millet germplasms (91) and cultivars (15) revealed that tropical pearl millet could be a potential crop for production of fodder and grains for livestock/poultry in semi-arid north-east of Mexico. Crops were well adapted in semi-arid regions of north-east Mexico, and gave high yield of fodder and grain with good nutritional values. Top Keywords Pearl millet, germplasm, grain, forage, Mexico.
