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 industria 606 $aLegumes$xBreeding 606 $aFood crops$xBreeding 606 $aLegumes as food 615 0$aLegumes$xBreeding. 615 0$aFood crops$xBreeding. 615 0$aLegumes as food. 676 $a583/.74 701 $aPratap$b Aditya$f1976-$01266398 701 $aKumar$b Jitendra$f1973-$01266399 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910627289803321 996 $aBiology and breeding of food legumes$92973066 997 $aUNINA
