ABSTRACT

Grasspea (Lathyrus) is one of the major pulse crops of Chhattisgarh. After rice, in terms of area, the maximum area comes under this crop. This crop has an important role in rice based agriculture. Despite having limited water and other resources, grasspea can be cultivated well by Utera method, where there are no other pulse crops, grasspea grows well. Along with grasspea pulse, its soft leaves are also very much liked as a leaf-vegetable and it is also kept dry. Along with protein, other useful nutrients are found in it. Grasspea (Lathyrus) is one of the major pulse crops of Chhattisgarh. After rice, in terms of area, the maximum area comes under this crop.
