Solving The Pulses Crisis Hardback
by Anil Kumar Singh & B.Gangwar
Hardback
Description
India has achieved self sufficiency in food grain production in recent years with record production of 250 mt during 2011-12.
However, the pulses production remained low and considered to be the major concern for researchers and development planners.
Considering the much more importance in near future and to avoid pulses crisis situation, the present attempt was made to compile the available scientific information, so as to highlight the issues, technologies and strategies in the title of "Solving Pulses Crisis" in India.
The publication is divided into two parts. The first part deals national issues, technologies and strategies while the second part deals with crop based issue and technologies.
The first part consists of 13 s. The first three s deals with pulses related national issues, technologies and strategies including NEH region too.
The IV deals with crop diversification involving pulses while V focused on pulses production under organic system.
The issues related to legumes as a nutrient supplement in VI, tillage and crop establishment in VII water management in pulses in VIII and Integrated nutrient management in IX are discussed in detail. The aspects of weed and pest management are presented in X to XI, respectively.
The specific issues related to post harvest, value addition are discussed in XII, while trade related policy issues are focused in XIII.
In part second, the crop issues, strategies and technologies are presented.
Accordingly, XIV deals with pigeonpea while in XV issues related to greengram and black gram are discussed.
The XVI to XIX deals with chickpea, lentil, field pea and lathyrus while in XX the issues technologies and prospects of Guar are discussed.
In last XXI the issues and technologies related to arid legumes (mothbean, cowpea and horsegram) with special reference to arid areas are discussed.
Hopefully, the publication will prove to be a reference and a way forward for solving pulses crisis in India and achieving the targets matching with food production strategies in years to come.
