Abstract

A majority of Indian population (40%) is vegetarian and pulses are playing an important role in providing protein (22%) and other essential nutrients to the large population of the country. However, its area is fluctuating from year to year due to number of biotic and abiotic stresses, which are responsible for a large extent of the instability and low yields. To study the growth status of major pulses in Karnataka and India growth rate in area, production, productivity, selected pulse crops were computed for a period of 36 years from 1980 to 2016 depending upon the availability of data. In pertain to total pulses scenario in Karnataka revealed that the growth in area, production and productivity were positive in all the period except productivity (-0.82%) in period-I. It is important to highlight that though the growth rates of productivity is found negative but the production found positive in period-I. The country as a whole showed positive growth in area, production and productivity in all the period but it is worth noting that the production and productivity found positive and significant in all the period.
