Title Legumes Production in Traditional and Improved Cropping Systems in India
 
Creator Rao, M R
 
Subject Food legumes
 
Description 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.
