Pulse crops are legumes. The word legume is derived from the Latin word ‘legere’, with means ‘to gather’. Pulses are important in crop rotations and crop mixtures practiced by farmers, as they help in maintaining the soil fertility. Pulses are rich in protein and they meet the major share of the protein requirements of the predominantly vegetarian population of India.
