Pulses are one of the most essential components of Indian agriculture, providing a significant share of protein to the population. The major pulses grown in India include chickpea, pigeon pea, green gram, black gram, and lentils. These pulses require specific climatic and soil conditions to thrive. The success of pulse cultivation also depends on proper land preparation, the selection of suitable varieties, timely sowing of seeds, efficient nutrient and pest management, and timely harvesting. This article discusses these aspects in detail, focusing on their relevance to pulse production in India. ### Climatic Requirements Pulses generally grow well in subtropical and tropical climates with moderate rainfall. Each pulse crop has its own temperature and rainfall requirements. For instance, chickpea grows best in temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C and requires a dry period during the maturation of pods. It is typically grown in regions that have an annual rainfall of 600 to 800 mm. Similarly, pigeon peas require a warm climate with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C. They are relatively drought-tolerant and can withstand dry spells, making them suitable for arid and semi-arid regions. Green gram and black gram grow well in regions with moderate temperatures of 25°C to 35°C and require annual rainfall ranging from 600 mm to 1,200 mm.
