Description India grows such a variety of pulse crops which none of the countries in the world grows. Though the area underpulses has been fluctuating between 22 and 24 million ha, an improvement in production and productivity was 12.42million tonnes and 520 kg/haduring 1964-65 to 14.12 million tonnes and 609 kg/ha during 1994-95 during to developmentof new varieties and technologies. Special features, and areas of adoption of varieties of different pulse crops in differentregions of the country are given consisely.
