Abstract

Pulses, largely still being grown on marginal areas of rainfed and due to technological pause, nation is not able to meet current demand of increasing population. With almost no scope to increase the acreage current deficit of pulses can be met partially by avoiding yield losses caused by various diseases pests. Consolidated efforts by ICAR in collaboration with State Agricultural Universities and State Department of Agriculture in farmers participatory mode, has proven that plant protection technologies can help in establishing level of sustainable yield especially among farmers having small holdings. Envisaged technologies have not only contributed in enhancing the yield with lesser use of pesticides but helped in conservation of naturally occurring beneficial both at micro as well as macro niche. Apart from technological aspects present document has also focused on policy issues.
