Wide genetic variations were observed among chickpea genotypes. A total of eight genotypes, viz. ICC 1710, ICC-14061, GL 14054, IPC 10-134, ICCX 130012-B-B-B-B-25, ICC17255, ICCX110067-B-B-B-B 76-B-B, and ICCX110066-B-B-B-B-59-B-B showed tolerance to imazethapyr; hence, they were considered promising. The application of imazethapyr significantly reduced plant height, and 100 seed weight and increased days to 50% flowering and maturity. Plant biomass under herbicide treatment increased most likely due to an increase in the number of secondary branches. Weed control efficiency was 78.58% when imazethapyr applied at 80 g a.i. per ha at 40 days after sowing. Among the tolerant genotypes, IPC 06-77 and ICC 14061 gave the most consistent positive performance for yield and yield attributes under herbicide treatment. The herbicide-tolerant lines identified can be useful resources for undertaking genetic and physiological studies on herbicide tolerance and for the development of herbicide-tolerant cultivars of chickpea.","PeriodicalId":477208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Legumes","volume":"17 3‐4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140398054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, there is a need for renewed and innovative approach for sustainable cropping intensification with pulses. In this context, water–a critical input for sustained crop production – is becoming limiting both under rainfed and irrigated conditions depending on its availability, competing factors, allocation to priority crops, and season of the year. It deserves all of us to use this precious commodity more judiciously, sensibly and need-based in agriculture through modern technology, especially in presence of diverse constraints. One of the approach for effective on-farm management of water is its precision use. One or two life-saving/supplementary irrigation through water-saving technologies (drip or sprinkler irrigation) during the post-rainy/ fall months or even under dryland condition could sustain productivity of crop. Some of the innovative agro-technologies could reinforce this by way of technology up-scaling and/or providing a sound footing for better water delivery/use. These include precision land levelling, no-till systems, furrow-irrigated raised bed planting, and crop diversification and its residue management. Thus, adaptive strategies for grain legumes or pulses will be highly location specific and offers an alternative for a quantum jump in its production with sustainable resource management and resource use efficiency (RUE). To conclude, strategic water management in pulses could play a significant role in their sustainable intensification/diversification of already scarce resource base in time to come (in the context of Sustainable Development Goals).","PeriodicalId":477208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Legumes","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140398210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study was aimed to analyze the seasonal dynamics of wilt and pod borer incidence in relation to critical weather parameters in pigeonpea from the Bundelkhand region, a pulses basket of Uttar Pradesh. The fusarium wilt (Fusarium udum) and pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera) incidence were found to be major biotic stresses in pigeonpea from 2017-18 to 2020-21. The wilt disease commenced at 48 MSW and the mean incidence ranged from 0.0 to 25.5 percent. The pod borer incidence started at 01 MSW, and the larval population ranged from 0.5 to 1.40 larvae/plant. Though the correlation between pest incidence and weather parameters was found to be non-significant. The wilt and pod borer incidence were positively correlated with Tmax (r= 0.35 and 0.33), Tmin (r= 0.39 and 0.37), rainfall (r= 0.43 and 0.41) and negatively correlated with relative humidity (r= -0.32 and -0.26). The regression analysis indicated variability in wilt and pod borer incidence due to temperature, humidity and rainfall. The information generated on the pest dynamics of wilt and pod borer in pigeonpea under the influence of weather parameters may be helpful in devising the forecasting models as well as the management practices well in advance so as to avoid yield losses.","PeriodicalId":477208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Legumes","volume":"311 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140397888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under this project pulses seed hub has been sanctioned to Krishi Vigyan Kendra Mohol, Solapur. The objective of this programme was to increase indigenous production of pulses and to make available quality seed of improved high yielding and climate resilient varieties to farmers to achieve self-sufficiency in respect of seeds at village level. Farmers of selected village for seed hub are working under the technical support and guidance of KVK scientists. They were trained technically and made more sound by adopting good agronomic practices to fulfil the objective.
