Efficient water management: way forward to climate smart grain legumes production

Singh, Anil Kumar and Singh, K.M. and Bhatt, B.P. (2014): Efficient water management: way forward to climate smart grain legumes production.

Abstract

The most important way to increase the grain yield of food legumes per unit area under stress environment should be consist of proper technological backup with infrastructure, timely availability of quality inputs along with policy support. Efficient water management is one of the critical inputs as in general perception is that legumes need no supplementary water, whereas research finding revealed that need based watering at critical stages are capable to improved production by 15-25 % depending up how much stress has already being faced by the standing crop till now.
