Abstract :

Pulse crops have been an important component of agriculture since ancient times. The world’s major pulses producing countries, which together account for half of the global production are India¸ Canada, China, Myanmar and Brazil. India is the largest producer of pulses, accounting for 25 per cent of global pulses production. In Jammu region and Kashmir region it was reported as 12,955 ha and 5938 ha respectively. The study found that majority (98%) of the respondents cultivated Rajma crop followed by Black gram (79%), Green gram (76%), Horse gram (21%), French bean (19%) and Red lentil (15%) in study area. The average productivity of rajma was 2.64 q/ha while that of black gram was 2.47 q/ha. The productivity of green gram, red lentil, horse gram and French bean was 2.02 q/ha, 1.37 q/ha, 3.34 q/ha and 2.71 q/ha respectively. The results shows that all the respondents used FYM for cultivation but the dosage of application varies between different areas and under different pulse crops and all the respondents used manual method for weed management. The study found that most of the farmers were using organic way of production and they also want that this should be promoted, this is encouraging outcome of the study that farmers preferred organic way of cultivation than conventional way of farming.
