Abstract
Pearl millet is the most widely grown type of millet. Grains are a valuable source of numerous nutrients and minerals, and because they include phytochemicals, they support optimum health. One of the earliest groups of grains that humans have discovered is the group of small-seeded grasses known as millets, which are widely grown as cereal crops around the world. In the present study, the effects of packaging material and moisture level on pearl millet stored under ambient conditions were determined. Storage containers like polyethylene bags, metal containers, earthen pots, and gunny sacks were used for the comparison. The pearl millet was stored at various initial moisture content levels at 6%, 8%, and 12% using the above-mentioned storage containers. Seed moisture content, germination percentage, and germination index were all increased with an increase in the initial moisture content of pearl millet.
