    🔑 Key Points
    In India, pearl millet is the fourth most widely cultivated food crop after rice, wheat, and maize.
    → The major pearl millet growing states are Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana, which account for more than 90% of pearl millet acreage in the country and are commonly grown in rainy (kharif) season (June/July–September/October).
    → Hybrid HB1 was released in 1965 from University PAU, Ludhiana, thus making India the first country in the world to develop grain hybrid utilizing a cytoplasmic-genetic male-sterile line (Tift 23A) and a restorer line (BIL 3B).
