Pearl millet is predominantly cross-pollinated because it is Protogynous.
Pearl millet is a protogynous species. This pattern involves individuals developing initially as immature females, then typically as mature females before later potentially changing sex to become a mature males.
The styles start protruding two to three days after the emergence of the panicle. The stylar branches protrude first from the florets in the upper middle region of the panicle and then proceed both up and downwards.
It is allogamous and landraces are highly heterogeneous. Stigma emergence precedes anther emergence, resulting in high cross-pollination due to wind.
