Released varieties of Kodo millet

Several varieties have been released for cultivation.

The information on released varieties of Kodo millet from 1977-2012 is collected from the report on compendium on released varieties of small millets prepared by Project Coordinating unit, All India Coordinating Small Millets Improvements Project, GKVK, Bangalore. An updation to the list is done through addition of released varieties upto 2021.

The objective of this information is to enable farmers in selecting the suitable varieties for particular agro-climatic zones.
