Abstract
Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) is an essential minor millet crop known as ragi or nagli.Finger millet (eleusine coracana) is a vital crop for food security, particularly in water-scarce regions of India and Africa.Finger millet is a good source of micronutrients and dietary fibers.The calcium content of finger millet is 5 to 30 times higher than the other cereals.Drought stress significantly affects crop yield and quality, but its impact on finger millet's nutritional content remains poorly understood.This study investigates the effects of drought stress on the nutritional composition of finger millet, focusing on mineral, protein, and fiber content.A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of drought stress on nineteen-finger millet genotypes on nutritional composition.The nineteen-finger millet genotypes were evaluated under drought stress and non-stress conditions in factorial RBD with three replications.There were three plots: finger millet genotypes with well water (WW) (T 1 ) and water stress at the flowering stage (WS).The experimental result indicated significant reductions in Calcium (7.62%), Iron (6.06 %), and Zinc content (6.57%) under drought stress at flowering stage stress.Genotype WN-566 showed the highest reduction in Calcium (6.49), zinc (6.99), and iron (8.49%) content while, Genotype GN-9 showed the lowest reduction in Calcium (3.40 %), zinc (3.62 %), and iron (3.65 %) content in drought stress.There are several reasons for the reduction for reduction of minerals under water stress conditions that might be difficult for plant roots to absorb crucial elements like Iron and Zinc.As a result, the plant generally takes up ions from the soil along with water so the uptake of essential nutrients like zinc through the plant's roots results in a reduction in Ca, Zn, and Fe content.These findings have implications for crop breeding strategies for the future nutritional security under climate change areas.
