Learn Grain legumes and Oil seed production with Rahul

Irrigation:

  • 1-2 irrigation i.e. 40 DAS for vegetative growth and at flower initiation stage.
  • Have good drainage as lentils can’t survive water logged condition.
  • Excess soil moisture reduces oxygen in the rhizosphere and thus affects BNF activity and nutrient availability resulting in yield reduction.

 

Harvesting

  • Manually by uprooting and even cutting with sickle.
  • Stored at 8-10 % moisture.

 

Yield

  • 600-1200 kg/ha.
  • 2-3 t/ha in improved practices.
