A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of mulching and nutrient management under different pulse based cropping system during 2018-19 at Indian Institute Pulses Research, Regional Research Station, Dharwad, Karnataka, India. The field experiment was conducted in deep black soil using split-split plot design with three replications. The treatments comprised of four cropping systems i.e., maize-chickpea, soybean-chickpea, groundnut-chickpea and mungbean-sorghum and two levels of fertilisation (farmers practise and recommended rate of fertilisers) with mulching and without mulching. The pooled yield of different crops under cropping system was significantly higher with mulching and recommended rate of fertilizer application. Among the different cropping systems, maize-chickpea was recorded significantly higher chickpea equivalent yield (3867 kg/ha) compared to other cropping system. Application of recommended rate of fertilizers resulted in higher chickpea equivalent yield of 2794 kg/ha over farmers’ practice. Among the mulching practices, mulching with crop residues recorded significantly higher chickpea equivalent yield of 4257 kg/ha over no mulching (3754 kg/ha). Higher yields of component crops are reported in recommended rate of fertilisers with mulching. Hence, for realising higher system productivity and net returns, it is better to grow maize during kharif season followed by chickpea in rabi season with recommended rate of fertilisers and crop residue mulching for in-situ moisture conservation.

High temperature stress in plants reduces crop yield because it negatively affects several plant physiological processes. Screening and identification of cultivars for high-temperature stress conditions is essential under changing environments. In the present study, the temperature induction response (TIR) technique was used for screening the high-temperature tolerant genotypes in urdbean (Vigna mungo (I) Hepper). In the present investigation, induction temperature and lethal temperature have been standardized based on percent growth reduction and survival percentage at the end of the recovery period. The induction temperature was observed at 38 to 48 ºC as sub-lethal i.e., challenging temperatures for 4 h and 30 min, while the lethal temperature was observed at 50 ºC for 3 h. This technique can be used as a potential tool to identify and select temperature-tolerant genotypes at the seedling stage from a large population. A total of nineteen urdbean genotypes were screened and evaluated for thermo tolerance. By using standardized optimum induction and challenging temperature, cellular level tolerance was assessed in the studied genotypes. Based on root length and shoot length of induced seedlings over control seedlings, the cellular level tolerance in terms of least reduction in growth and highest survival percentage was calculated and PGRU 95014 IPU 94-1, IPU 2K -22 and PGRU 95016 identified as heat tolerant genotypes. These can be used as donors in breeding programs.

The mutagenic effect of gamma rays (200Gy, 300Gy, 400Gy, 500Gy, and 600 Gy), ethyl methane sulphonate (0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, and 0.6%) and sodium azide (1 mM, 2 mM and 3 mM) on frequency and spectrum of viable mutations in two mungbean varieties viz., WGG-42 and LGG-460 were investigated. A wide spectrum of viable mutations for stature, leaf, flowering/maturity duration, cotyledonary leaf, pod, seed size, seed color, and colour stem were identified in the M2 generation. The spectrum of viable mutants includeda total of 94 mutants in gamma gamma-irradiated population, 132 mutants in EMS and 45 mutants in SA treatments in WGG-42. In LGG-460, a total of 91 mutants in gamma gamma-irradiated population, 118 mutants in EMS treated population, and 45 mutants in SA treatments were observed. Viable mutation frequency increased with an increase in dose/concentration of gamma rays, EMS, and SA treatments in both genotypes. In both the genotypes, EMS showed the highest frequency of viable mutations than gamma rays and SA treatments. These viable mutants could be exploited as a variety or donor for bringing desirable traits into the otherwise well-adapted cultivars.

Trichoderma spp. is mostly used for the management of soil-borne diseases and some foliage and fruit diseases in a variety of crop plants. It can help the environment by reducing agrochemical pollution, promoting plant growth, and enhancing plant resistance in addition to preventing plant diseases. Trichoderma spp. also functions as a secure, affordable, efficient, and environmentally friendly biocontrol agent for several crop species. In the present study, we obtained different Trichoderma isolates from rhizospheric soil samples of different locations and tested them for their antagonistic activity against major pulse pathogens. Among seven isolates, three isolates, viz., Pipal TH-2, ATH-Kashipur, and Mz/AP-2 were found to be highly effective by inhibiting the growth of Fusarium udum (64.04 to 78.65%), Fusarium ciceris (77.77 to 82.12%), Sclerotium rolfsii (59.09 to 69.30%), Macrophomina phaseolina (52.42 to 62.72%) and Alternaria alternata (80.12 to 83.22%). These isolates were also tested for growth-promoting traits (PGPR) in the present study and isolates having both plant growth-promoting ability and biocontrol potentiality were selected and preserved for further studies. These isolates of Trichoderma spp. would be a crucial partner for achieving the Green Earth goal due to their contribution to the sustainable growth of agriculture.

Fusarium wilt is a serious disease of lentil crop. In the present investigation, 144 pre-breeding lines derived from crosses involving accessions of Lens curlinaris subsp. orientalis and L. curlinaris subsp. tomentosus and 117 Mediterranean landraces of lentil were screened under wilt sick plot. This is resulted in the identification of a highly resistant pre-breeding line IPLPBR-1 [IPL 406 (L. culinaris subsp. culinaris) x IG 136667 (ILWL 44; L. curlinaris subsp. tomentosus)] and a Mediterranean landraces IG 54 having a resistance level of <10%. Testing of these genotypes for over four years under similar wilt sick plots showed an average wilt incidence ranging from 8.5 % to 8.8 % in resistant genotypes while it was observed from 82.0 to 86.4 % in susceptible check genotypes. The other genotypes showed moderate resistance to high susceptibility against the Kanpur isolate of the Fusarium wilt in the present study. These resistant genotypes are useful donors for breeding Fusarium wilt resistant cultivars in lentil.

The study was conducted on two mungbean varieties MH 1142 and MH 421 during Kharif 2023 to assess the effect of pod maturity on seed quality parameters of green gram (Vigna radiata) seeds. The results revealed that 42.88 g and 32.76 g test weight was observed in the MH 421 variety in the seeds extracted from mature and green (immature) pods respectively. In Variety MH 1142, the test weight was 40.51 g in seeds of matured pods and 20.83 in seeds of green pods. The germination of seeds extracted from mature pods was less (80.50%) than the seeds of green pods (88.00%) in MH 421 but germination of seeds extracted from matured pods was (88.00%) found at par with seeds of green pods (87.50%) in variety MH 1142. Seedling length was 38.93 cm and 31.67 cm in variety MH 421 while it was 40.03 and 33.60 cm in variety MH 1142 in seeds of matured pods and green (immature) pods respectively. Similarly, seedling dry weight was 0.241 mg and 0.172 mg in variety MH 421 and 0.223 mg and 0.122 mg in variety MH 1142 in seeds of mature pods and green pods respectively. It is concluded from the study that there is no difference in germination of seeds extracted from mature pods and green seeds, hence harvesting can be done when the plant bears the maximum number of mature pods.

The present investigation was carried out to study inherent genetic diversity among 35 genotypes of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) using Mahalonobis D2 statistics. D2 analysis grouped studied genetypes into 16 clusters in Environment 1 (Early sowing) and 12 clusters in Environment 2 (Late sowing). The intra-cluster distance was greater in Cluster I of Environment 1 (8.48) and Cluster V of Environment 2 (7.99). While greater inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster X and XIV in Environment 1 and between cluster X and XII in Environment 2. Seed yield per plant contributed the highest towards total divergence in the present study under both environments (49.25% in Environment 1 and 28.41% in Environment 2). The genotypes RFB 14, ET226414, ET226415, HFB-1, ET226430, ET226426 and ET226417 belonging to different clusters in both environments had higher genetic distance and can be used as a parent for further hybridization program for generating the useful variability.

The paper delves into the current state of pulses in India, examining technological advancements, production trends, costs and returns, extent of subsidies and other policies related to pulses, competitiveness, and input utilization. It also assesses non-market benefits, such as nitrogen fixation, and suggests incorporating them into incentives for pulses production and consumption. Additionally, the paper explores the nutritional contributions of pulses and their potential distribution through government schemes to aid the impoverished. Policy scenarios, including the role of Minimum Support Price and procurement, are scrutinized for their historical impact on pulse production. The paper evaluates the demand-supply gap and advocates for improved trade policies. Ultimately, it recommends incentive policies based on the ecological contributions of pulses, use of advanced statistical methods for advanced production estimations to guide informed decisions by traders and importers, and long-term government contracts for pulses import/export to stabilize domestic prices. The goal is to ensure affordability for consumers and encourage farmers’ participation in export markets, especially for crops like chickpea.

The present study was carried out at the Crop Research Centre, Carrier Point University, Kota (Rajasthan), during the kharif season of 2020 and 2021 to assess the effect of phosphorus, rhizobium and phosphate solubilizing bacteria on growth and yield attributes of green gram. Significantly increase in growth, yield attributes and yield of green gram were recorded with the application of phosphorus 50 kg P2 O5 /ha. In case of biofertilizers (PSB, Rhizobium and PSB + Rhizobium), all growth and yield attributes and yield were increased significantly. However, among treatment combinations, the maximum values of these parameters were observed with 50 kg P2 O5 /ha + biofertilizers (PSB + Rhizobium) in comparison to all other treatment combinations. The net returns and B: C ratio were also higher under 50 kg P2 O5 /ha + biofertilizers (PSB + Rhizobium).

Ascochyta rabiei and Botrytis cinerea have been reported to cause blight and gray mold diseases in chickpea in different parts of the world and cause a significant economic loss to crop. In the present investigation, an in vitro evaluation of fungicides was conducted to find out the sensitivity and fungicide concentration in inhibiting the growth of Ascochyta rabiei and Botrytis cinerea. In vitro evaluation of fungicides revealed that, among five fungicides, bavistin (carbendazim 50 WP) a systemic fungicide was highly effective in inhibiting the mycelial growth with 100% inhibition at all the concentrations tested followed by baycor (bitertenol WP (25% w/w), with 98.88% inhibition at 500 ppm concentration and captan with 80% mycelia growth inhibition in A.rabiei. The fungicides such as chlorothalonil, copper oxychloride, and bitertanol at all concentrations were ineffective against B. cinerea. The fungicides that were effective under laboratory conditions could be further evaluated under field conditions to validate their efficacy and they could be incorporated as a component in integrated disease management in chickpea.
