ABSTRACT
A wide variety of pulses can be grown globally, making them important both economically as well as nutritionally. Pulses provide protein and fiber, as well as a significant source of vitamins and minerals, such as iron, zinc, folate, and magnesium. India is the largest producer and consumer of pulses, with about 25–28% of global share. Pollination requirements for legume crops vary according to whether they are self-fertile or self-sterile. Pollination has been found to enhance yield and quality of pulse crops.
