INTRODUCTION In the world, pulses are grown by 171 countries. At triennium ending 2010-

11, the area under pulses was 723 lakh ha. This area provided about 644.08

lakh tones of pulses with a productivity of 890 kg / ha.

The highest area was contributed by India (32.24 %) followed by Niger (7)

and Myanmar (5.33)

The contribution to total production by India was 23.46%, Canada 7.93,

China 7.09

The highest productivity was of France (4219 kg / ha) followed by Canada

(1936), USA (1882)

India is the largest producer (25% of global production), consumer (27% of

world consumption) and importer (14%) of pulses in the world.

The major pulses producing states are Madhya Pradesh (25%), UP

(13%) Maharashtra (12%), Rajasthan (11%), Andhra Pradesh

(9%) and other states together (30%) during 2012-13.

Area under pulse crop in MP =52.21 lakh hectare.

Production 5.6 mt

Pulses are important source of protein, high in fiber content and provide

higher quantity of vitamins and minerals. Keeping in view large benefits of

pulses for human health, the United Nations has proclaimed 2016 as the

International Year of Pulses. pulses are not only benefited to human but it

is also very important for soil also.

Among the pulses, chickpea contributed 48%, Pigeon pea 17%,

black gram 10%, green gram 7% and other pulses 18% towards total

pulses

(Singh R.P.)

The chickpea or chick pea (Cicer arietinum) is a legume of the

Family . it is also known as gram, Bengal gram, garbanzo or

garbanzo bean.

India got rank 1st with 88,32,500 matric tone same as 2nd

rank Australia with 8,13,300 matric tonne production.

Average Production 806 kg/ha

Fallow land: 0.87 m ha in MP, Rice fallow: 4.38 m ha in MP is the

major potential district

Preventive measures

CONCLUTION

The result of study highlighted the preventive measure.

(captured through seed treatment, pest and disease control measures)

quality seed (captured through source of seed)

method of sowing and land holding is most important determinant of

pulse production in the state.

The other determents found were distance from market (negatively

associated)

Balance does of fertilizer was negatively related with dose nitrogen

application it mean if we use less amount of N2 it is give no yield loss

Method of sowing (improved method of sowing increased the yield).

SUGGESTION

The study suggests promoting preventive measure of pest and disease control such as seed treatment should be promoted for pulses in the state.

The paper also emphasis on increase in area under rabi pulse crops to increase pulses production.

It emphasizes the expansion of area under short duration , Drought resistant varieties.

Study also emphasis to provide improved quality of seed and timely.

The study also suggested to increases the use of ICT application for enrich source of information use of market strategies for providing input as well as selling of output.
