Abstract
Millets, both major and minor, are important source of human diet. They are rich in proteins, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, micro nutrients including vitamins and minerals. Production of millets increase every year as they have high capacity to withstand biotic and abiotic stresses. However, in recent times, they are subjected to all type of bacterial, viral infections and fungal diseases. Blast, downy mildew, ergot, grain mold, smut, rust, bacterial leaf strike, bacterial leaf spot, Maize stripe virus (MStV-S), Maize streak virus, Maize mosaic virus (MMV-S) are common among all millets. Integrated crop management and pest control through agronomic cultural practices, use of resistant tolerant cultivars, chemical and biological control measures reduce the spread of diseases leading to high crop yield.
