        abstract = {Pulses are major sources of proteins among the vegetarians
in India, and complement the staple cereals in the diets with
proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. They
contain 22-24\% protein, which is almost twice the protein
in wheat and thrice that of rice. Pulses provide significant
nutritional and health benefits, and are known to reduce several
non-communicable diseases such as colon cancer and cardiovascular
diseases (Yude et al, 1993; Jukanti et al, 2012). Pulses
can be grown on range of soil and climatic conditions and play
important role in crop rotation, mixed and inter-cropping,
maintaining soil fertility through nitrogen fixation, release of
soil-bound phosphorus, and thus contribute significantly to
sustainability of the farming systems .}
