Cereals, pulses and fodders are considered as important source of food grains and livestock feed respectively, play pivotal role in Indian economy. Combination of cereals and pulses is said to be a balanced one as they supply protein on mutually inclusive basis. Pulses are chief source of protein and practical means of eradicating malnutrition among children and nursing mothers in India. The per capita availability of food grains is decelerating especially in pulses. Combined ration of cereal and legume forages is equally important for harnessing the livestock production in India. The qualitative and quantitative production of these components depend not only on scientific way of their cultivation but also methodical package of practices followed by cultivators. Keeping this in view, this manual provides a systematic way of cultivating these crops at field level especially for those without any farming background. The contents are crisp and this manual is useful for undergraduate students across the country. This manual is first of its kind in India for the course “Crop Production (Cereals, Millets, Pulses and fodders)”.
