Production of Pulses In Pakistan
4
Introduction
  • Pulses are the most important source of vegetable
    protein in Pakistan. They are cultivated on 5 of
    the total cropped area. Their use ranges from
    baby food to delicacies of the rich and the poor.
  • hence they are quite rightly called poor mans
    meet
  • Due to the population growth, demand for pulses
    is increasing day by day. There is a need to
    develop varieties with higher yield potential
    that respond to improved management practices so
    as to meet the increasing demand of pulses.

5
Major Pulse Crops in Pakistan
  • Rabi Pulses
  • Chickpea (cicer arietinmm)
  • khesari (lath vs sativus)
  • Lentil (lens culimlaris)
  • Kharif pulses
  • Moong ( Vigna radiata)
  • Mash (Vigna Mungo)
  • Arhar (Cajanus cajan)

Minor Pulse Crops in Pakistan
  • Cowpea (vigna unguiculata)
  • Moth bean (vigna aconitifolia)
  • Common beans (phaseolus vulgaris)
  • Faba bean (vicia faba )

Area Production in Pakistan
  • The total area under major pulse crops in
    Pakistan is 1,298,000 hectares . the Punjab
    region accounts for about 84 percent of
    Pakistan's total pulse production, the Sindh
    region 8 percent, Baluchistan 5 percent, and KPK
    3 percent.

Production Constraints
  • Production of pulses is affected by many biotic
    and abiotic stresses which hamper the realization
    of actual yield potential
  • Chickpea
  • Drought
  • Diseases (A. blight, wilt)
  • Weeds
  • Lentil
  • Lentil
  • Diseases (Blight, rust, root rot-wilt complex)
  • Weeds
  • Cold, Drought (High lands)
  • Drought (Low lands)
  • Mungbean and Mash
  • Diseases (MUMV, CLS, BLS, charcoal rot)
  • Insect pest (Hairy caterpillar, white fly,
    thrips, tobacco caterpillar)
  • Weeds

15
Reasons for crisis
  • Adverse weather
  • Impact of flood
  • Population pressure
  • Decline in cultivated area (lentil, mash)
  • Regular exports of lentil and mash beside their
    shortage
  • Import/export dilemma
  • Lack of coordination between M/O Agriculture and
    Commerce
  • Undue export of chickpea and mung

16
Current Situation
  • Sufficiency in two major pulse crops i.e.
    chickpea and mungbean primarily due to improved
    varieties.
  • Lag behind in lentil and mash production mainly
    due to displacement of these crops from
    traditional growing areas with drastic reduction
    in cultivated area.

17
Suggestions
  • Establishment of improved seed and its
    dissemination systems.
  • Encouragement of private sector in seed
    production business.
  • Implementation of price intervention for major
    pulse crop and procurement of produce by the
    Government.
  • Timely availability of quality inputs especially
    pesticides.
  • Increase the area under pulses Maintain the
    plant population.
