Rust

RUST: On pearl millet: small reddish-brown to reddish orange, round to elliptical uredinia develop mainly on foliage. As severity of infection increases, leaf tissue will wilt and become necrotic from the leaf apex to base. In infection sites developing late in the season, uredinia are replaced by telia which are black, elliptical, and sub epidermal.

Ergot

ERGOT: Sphacelial (conidial) "honeydew" sporulation has been reported on pearl millet (Frederickson and Mantle 1996). Cream to pink mucilaginous droplets of "honeydew" ooze out of infected florets on pearl millet panicles and form sclerotia. Sclerotia are larger than seed and irregularly shaped, and generally get mixed with the grain during threshing.
