"The main objective of this paper is to appraise the existing situation of major pulse\r\nproduction and consumption with adoption of technologies and its impact on crop\r\nproductivity, income, and other socio-economic issues. The average productivity of\r\nimproved variety of chickpea in adopted villages was estimated at 9.5 quintal/ha & for\r\nlocal variety it was 8.5 q/ha. For pigeon pea the productivity was 18to 19 quintal/ha. The\r\nper capita income in the adopted village was more than that of control village accounted\r\n54% of income from the crop enterprises and from pulses its share was estimated only10 to\r\n12percent of total farm income. Human labor accounted highest cost in pulse cultivation\r\n(farm family contributed about52 percent of total labor). Comparative cost and benefit\r\nanalysis indicated that pulse crop were more remunerative in Bihar. Constraints analysis\r\nindicates that the non-availability of seeds of high-yielding varieties in the desired\r\nquantities was perhaps one of the major constraints followed by moisture stress, high pod\r\nborer incidence, and shortage of labor during harvesting and threshing and some of variety\r\nfound not suitable in flood affected area etc in pulse production. The share of consumption\r\nexpenditure on pulses was only 15.60 percent of total food expenditure/household. It is\r\nsuggested that major future expansion of area under pulse crops may take place in rice\r\nfallows, (1.2 million ha) where there is no other crop to compete with. Steps to reduce the\r\ntemporal and spatial variation in price of pulses will definitely help in sustaining as well as\r\nenhancing the farmers' interest in pulses production. The government has never treated the\r\nMSP as an effective tool for increasing pulses production; High volatility in prices for long\r\nperiods, low productivity, and stagnation in production technology has acted as\r\ndisincentives for pulses production."^^ .
