Production potential of kharif pulses in association with maize
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Extract
Pulse crops play an important role in Indian agriculture because of their unique ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen. Greengram, blackgram and soya bean are commonly grown during the kharif season (July–October) in Northern India. The availability of pulses is decreasing due to a decrease in area. Average yield of these crops is rather low and subject to great variation due to the vagaries of weather and pest attack.
