Paspalum scrobiculatum, commonly called Kodo millet or Koda millet,[1][2][3] is an annual grain that is grown primarily in Nepal (not to be confused with Ragi (Finger millet, Eleusine coracana))[4][5] and also in India, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and in West Africa from where it originated. It is grown as a minor crop in most of these areas, with the exception of the Deccan plateau in India where it is grown as a major food source.[6] It is a very hardy crop that is drought tolerant and can survive on marginal soils where other crops may not survive, and can supply 450–900 kg of grain per hectare.[7] Kodo millet has large potential to provide nourishing food to subsistence farmers in Africa and elsewhere.
The plant is called kodrava in Sanskrit, Arikelu in the Telugu language, Varagu in Tamil, Varak (വരക്) in Malayalam, Arka in Kannada,Kodo in Hindi and Kodra in Punjabi
