Rotis made from wheat, jowar and bajra are eaten as much as rice. |
Subhash Dagar of Sagarpur village claimed that the rains would be helpful in reviving nearly all the kharif crops, including sugarcane, paddy, bajra, jowar and pulses. |
In India sorghum is known as jowar, cholam, or jonna, in West Africa as Guinea corn, and in China as kaoliang. |
Instead, we are cultivating food crops like jowar, pulses, beans, etc., which should take care of our annual grain requirement. |
The farmers in the village grew ragi, cow pea, pigeon pea, green gram, jowar, horse gram and sesame. |
They grow sugarcane, jowar, wheat, vegetables and different varieties of fruit on a 300-acre farm plot. |
