Experiment Background
|
Green gram (Vigna radiate L.) is one of the main pulse crop of India. It is a rich source of protein (24 %) along with fibre and iron. India contributes more than 70 % of world’s green gram production. In Gujarat, it is cultivated in an area of about 1.73 lakh hectares with the production of 0.72 lakh tonnes with an average yield of 414 kg/ha. Land configuration system plays a major role in minimizing salinity and improving water use efficiency of field crops. Easy and uniform germination as well as growth and development of plant are provided by manipulation of sowing method. Greengram is very sensitive to salts resulting in heavy plant mortality particularly useful in areas having saline irrigation water, because it helps to avoid direct contact of young plants with saline irrigation water. Moreover, pulse crop can be sensitive to excess soil moisture which results in heavy plant mortality in early stage of growth and salt injury due to poor growth and low productivity of pulses crop. In addition, there is also a need to carry out of irrigation water management practices to achieve higher crop water use efficiency and water productivity by producing more yield with less water is essential for future food production and sustainable agriculture. |
