It is extensively cultivated in Oude. When split, it forms one of the "Dâls" and ground into flour is used for bread by natives. It is also sometimes used mixed up with wheaten flour. Bullocks, sheep, goats, and many of the native cavalry horses are fed on it. Two varieties are cultivated, white and black.
