Abstract
Pulses are the edible seeds of plants having pods. They belong to the comprehensive botanical family of Leguminosae. Most of the pulses are primarily for human consumption but certain species are cultivated mainly for animal feed. Compared to cereals, some pulses yield much less energy and protein per ha. While wheat yields per ha 510 kg protein, chick peas (Cicer arietinum) only yield 140 kg/ha[(5)].
