“…This is what has been observed in this study (Table 2). In addition, Singh (1977) and Hamdi et al (1991) working also with lentil reported that grain yield per plant was positively correlated with harvest index. Furthermore, other researchers have suggested that harvest index could be a useful selection criterion for higher yields (Kumar et al 2002;Solanki 2006;Yadav et al 2005).…”

Thirty-six lentil varieties were evaluated under organic and conventional environment for three consecutive years in order to see whether the promising genetic material for an organic plant breeding program are different from those of a conventional system. The genetic material studied originated from various countries. In the conventional trial plots standard cultural practices (P mineral fertilization & pest control) were applied throughout the growing season, while in the organic ones no fertilizers or pest agrochemicals were applied. Significant regression, but of low value, between grain yield ranking and earliness or harvest index ranking was detected. Combined ANOVA indicated significant differences between genotypes, years, environments and genotype 9 environmental interactions (GEI). It was observed that under conventional management most of the genotypes had a higher yield compared to the organic one. The mean grain yield ranking of the genotypes in each of the environments revealed that some of the genotypes occupied the same ranking position at both the organic and the conventional environment (non-crossover GEI), while others exhibited a significant alteration in their ranking (crossover GEI) under the two environments. Crossover GEI and non-cross over GEI revealed two types of lentil varieties. Varieties with specific adaptation and varieties with broad adaptation. It was concluded that grain yield was in general higher when lentil varieties were grown under a conventional environment compared to the grain yield produced under an organic environment. Yet, there are lentil genotypes with a higher yielding ability under the organic management and therefore should be targeted by the breeder.

“…Grain yield and dry matter production are positively correlated with pod number, plant height, and number of primary and secondary branches, but negatively correlated with test weight. Tall genotypes with higher pod number and low branching are suggested for improvement in lentil yield and harvest index (Singh, 1977). Mean crop growth rate (CGR) is also reported to be positively correlated with seed yield, and it is the maximum during pod development stage (Tripathi and Singh, 1989).…”

With these considerations, authors have tried to incorporate chapters on production and productivity scenario, canopy and root development, biological nitrogen fixation, physiology of growth and yield components, light and water-use efficiency, physiological aspects of pulse-cereal intercropping and nutritional qualities concerned with all major and minor pulses, viz. chickpea, pigeonpea, MULLaRP , and arid legumes (cowpea, moth bean, guar, winged bean), grown in different agro-ecological regions of India. A brief botany, origin and economic uses have also been covered. Chapters on ideal plant type as well as molecular basis to face challenges in pulse production are also incorporated. In the light of global climate change, a chapter on effect of greenhouse gases and global warming in pulses has been specifically included in this book. The book will fulfill the growing needs of all students and researchers of agricultural sciences in general, and of crop physiology in particular, concerned with pulses in Indian context.

“…But, progress will be slow as the heritabilty of this character was found to be poor (MandaI and Bahl, 1983), and genetic variance was characterized by a predominance of non-additive gene action (Singh and Sindu, 1983). Singh (1977) has suggested a similar approach to lentil improvement. In the Middle East, however, lentil straw is a valuable feed and so a large biological yield rather than a large harvest index is required.…”

Large germplasm collections of each of pea, lentil, faba bean and chickpea are now maintained and have been described. The range in the morphology of these species for vegetative, root and reproductive characters is surveyed. Current breeding aims for the vegetative characters of growth habit, leaf type, plant height and lodging resistance are reviewed, as are the selection methods in use and the known response to selection. Amongst reproductive characters, the breeding for improved flower and pod retention, for a multipodded habit (either through an independent vascular system or otherwise), and for pod indehiscence is summarized for all four crops. The small amount of work done on root morphology is also reviewed.
