Abstract

In spite of their good nutritional profiles and extensive use in the staple diets of millions of people, most pulses produce low and unstable yields on farmers fields. Therefore, these crops are generally relegated to low fertility rainfed fields. Although pulse production in the last few decades has recorded positive growth, it is not enough to meet the ever growing domestic requirements. Therefore, raising the production and productivity of pulses has been a challenge to the scientists and policy makers.
