title: Socioeconomic constraints to legumes production in rice-wheat cropping systems of India
ispublished: pub
subjects: s2.4
full_text_status: public
abstract: Despite lower cost of production and higher output prices of legumes, their
profitability has remained too low in comparison with rice and wheat.
Even if the existing subsidies on fertilizers and electricity for irrigation
are withdrawn, it was shown that the rice-wheat cropping sequence
remains most profitable. Inclusion of legumes in the system helped in
conserving the natural resource base, particularly soil fertility and
groundwater, but at the cost of profit, food grain production, and
unemployment of fixed resources. The prime need is to break the existing
yield barriers of legumes and design innovative policies on risk and
resource management.
