Talk:Digitaria exilis

Latest comment: 8 years ago by Sophgoat

We are working to update the page because we think the actual page is not well structured. We would suggest some subtitles: - Description - Origin and regions of cultivation - Yield - Climate and soil requirements - Field management - Harvest and post-harvest processing - Nutritional values - Fonio and gluten - Hulling and whitening

In around a week we would like to upload the new chapters and therefore some of the existing text might be included or replaced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sophgoat (talkcontribs) 15:15, 18 November 2015 (UTC)Reply


Added information about nutrition in Digitaria exilis (amino acids for human survival, carbohydrate, protein, and fiber content compared to other cereal crops).

Added information about how processing decreases its nutrition.

Added information about how nitrogen content in soil is key to its nutrition and yield.

Added information about agronomically important traits.

Added information about how this information can be used from an evolutionary biology perspective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nedavall (talkcontribs) 23:51, 10 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
