Abstract

This paper reviews the traditional cropping systems of legume growing in India and the status of the agronomic research for legume improvement. The low yields of legume crops and the shortage of pulses as indicated by increasing prices have emphasized a greater need for research and as a result the "All-India Coordinated Projects" for the improvement of grain legumes and oilseeds (including groundnut) were established in the late 1960s. The setting up of the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in India has given further impetus to legume research. Improved genotypes of legume crops suitable for intercropping and multiple cropping systems have recently been developed.
