Horsegram [Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam) Verdic] is
an arid legume with multi utility. It is known for its ability to
reclaim wastelands is a nutritious human food and animal
feed as well as its immense medicinal value, especially
against kidney stones as mentioned in ayurveda (Kumar
2006). Lipid fraction in certain foodstuffs had a protective
effect which was most marked in the lipid obtained from
horse gram (Jayaraj et al. 2000). It is mainly grown as a late
rainy season crop and hence an excellent contingent crop.
A new brown seeded horsegram variety CRIDA-18R
was developed by Central Research Institute for Dryland
Agriculture and released by Central Varietal Release
Committee (CVRC) in 2009 for South India (Raghu Ram
Reddy et al. 2010). It has higher-yielding ability of both
grain and fodder, with high carbohydrate and protein content
in the seed along with its ability of non-shattering of pods
and tolerant to pests and diseases namely yellow mosaic
virus, powdery mildew and mites. In recent on-farm trials,
this CRIDA-18R variety yielded 59% more as intercrop with
Jatropha and 40% more as a sole crop than local variety in
farmer’s fields of Andhra Pradesh (CRIDA 2008–09).
In the present scenario of global climate change which
is much influenced by higher CO2, it is imperative to
investigate the crop germination and growth under various
levels of CO2 and response change with varied temperature
ranges. Changes in CO2 and associated changes in global
