Signs of Heat Stress in Pearl millet
Symptoms
During warmer periods, Pearl millet should be kept below 86℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's foliage might lighten, curl, become prone to sun damage, and in severe instances, the whole plant could wilt and desiccate.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and dried portions. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or provide shade with a cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
