Description Problem soils impose various stresses on plants and reduce crop yield significantly. As a
sizeable area under food legume crops falls under the problem soils, development of tolerant
varieties and appropriate agronomic practices to ameliorate problem soils are required to
increase food legumes production. The current research efforts towards the development of
cultivars tolerant to problem soils and soil amelioration measures are very limited. There is a
lack of knowledge on physiological and genetic basis of mechanisms contributing towards
tolerance to problem soils. . Recent advances in high throughput phenotyping and genotyping
(next generation sequencing) platform offer new suites of technologies that facilitate the
understanding of tolerance mechanisms, accelerate the genetic gains and develop improved
cultivars better adapted to adverse soil conditions in a rapid manner. This review examines
various edaphic problems, discuss recent efforts towards the development of appropriate
technologies including tolerant varieties, soil amelioration methods and innovation in
agronomic practices that are contributing to, or potentially can contribute to adaptation of food
legume crops such as lentil, chickpea, faba bean, and field peas in problem soils.
