These crops also play an important role in low-input agricultural production systems by fixing atmospheric nitrogen. Despite systematic and continuous breeding efforts through conventional methods, substantial genetic gains have not been achieved. With the rise in demand for food legumes/pulses and increased market value of these crops, research has focused on increasing production and improving the quality of pulses for both edible and industriaLegumesBreedingFood cropsBreedingLegumes as foodLegumesBreeding.Food cropsBreeding.Legumes as food.583/.74633.3Pratap Aditya1976-1266398Kumar Jitendra1973-1266399MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910627289803321Biology and breeding of food legumes2973066UNINA
