"Pulses: Management Practices for Enhanced Productivity" is an insightful resource aimed at addressing the challenges faced in pulse crop production. Pulses, which are a primary source of protein and a key contributor to soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation, are experiencing a decline in yields due to improper management practices. This book offers comprehensive strategies to improve pulse productivity, including the use of high-yielding varieties, fertilization techniques, irrigation practices, and effective crop protection. It is tailored for agricultural students, innovative farmers, agronomists, researchers, and extension professionals seeking to enhance pulse production.
Abstract
This book focuses on improving the productivity of pulse crops, which are vital for meeting global protein demands and enhancing soil health. Pulses contribute significantly to biological nitrogen fixation, improving soil fertility and organic carbon content. However, improper management practices have led to declining yields. Through a review of current agricultural literature, the author presents improved management practices for pulses, including the adoption of high-yielding varieties, effective fertilization, irrigation techniques, and crop protection methods. Aimed at agriculture professionals and researchers, this book offers practical solutions for boosting pulse productivity and sustainability in farming systems.
