Pulses:Pulses are a category of leguminous crops that are harvested solely for their dry seeds, such as beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas. They are rich in protein, fiber, and various essential nutrients, making them valuable sources of plant-based protein. Cereal:Cereals, also known as gr...
and that the term “pulses” is limited to crops harvested solely for dry grain, thereby excluding crops harvested green for food, which are classified as vegetable crops, as well as those crops used mainly for oil extraction and leguminous crops that are used exclusively for sowing purposes, ...
systematic reviewPulses are dry leguminous crops consisting of beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas. They are a broad category of food that are often aggregated when their contribution to healthy dietary patterns are disseminated. However, the different genera and varieties of pulses vary in ...
nitrogen from the air into the nitrogenous compounds needed by all forms of life for building proteins (seenitrogen cycle). Rotation of leguminous crops with nonleguminous crops has long been a standard agricultural practice; the soil is enriched when their roots are left to decay after ...
In addition to being less water intensive compared to other crops, pulses can withstand extreme temperatures and also enable natural fixation of nitrogen in the soil due to its leguminous properties. Gram and pigeon pea together account for 52% of pulses area and 61% of production (as ...
Grain legumes or pulses are not exactly the same as legumes. The word “legumes” or “leguminous plants” is a collective term for all plants under the family Leguminosae or Fabaceae. It is a large grouping of plants that consists of both useful plants (agricultural crops) and unuseful plan...
Grain legumes, also called pulses, are plants belonging to the family Leguminosae (alternatively Fabaceae) which are grown primarily for their edible seeds.
The dry seeds of leguminous crops, known as pulses, are high in dietary fibre and protein and exhibit several health benefits for humans. Pulse yield is influenced by various factors, both biotic (insects, pests, microbial attacks) and abiotic (salt, drought, heavy metals). Pulse storage ...
various mechanisms of action performed by the EMs promoting plant growth and development are graphically presented in Fig.1. Diazotrophs likeRhizobiumsp. andBradyrhizobiumsp. are the major N2-fixers [14].Azospirillum, a free-living N2-fixer reportedly enhances the growth in non-leguminous crops [...
