Abstract
Successful pulse production in dry areas depends on the ability to obtain economic yields With limited water supply. Management systems should consider: (1) matching crops and cropping sequences with seasonal rainfall; (2) cultural practices designed to maximise water conservation; (3) soil management to prevent compaction and the formation of tillage pans; (4) adequate control of pests; (5) appropriate seedbed preparation and fertilization; and (6) timely planting. These objectives can be accomplished using conservation tillage systems, improved methods of fertilization and exploitation of nitrogen fixation, and appropriate mechanisation.
