Abstract

Since kodo millet is a self-pollinated plant, it is essential to understand the factors that influence the length of the flowering period, pollination behaviour, and seed set in order to improve breeding programme effectiveness and yield stability while also boosting productivity. Kodo millet flowers remain closed because they are cleistogamous in nature. They have tiny florets. Emasculation and artificial hybridization are challenging because pollen is less readily available. There are also only a few sources of information. To get around this, the current inquiry was started. It aims to gather fundamental data from a variety of sources of literature, and then, with the use of fieldwork this text was prepared.
