Gram.

Of the pulses grown in the district, gram, mug,, tur and udid are very important. Grain (harbhara) occupied an area of 9,858.556 hectares (24.361 acres) in 1961-62. It is grown all over the district. It is mostly taken as a rabi crop between September and January, i.e., after the cessation of monsoon. Severe cold, frost and cloudy weather are harmful to the crop. If grown on well-drained black soil, gram gives best results. On heavy soil it is grown alone is it gives a high yield, while on light soils it is taken as a mixed crop. The field is made ready by September for sowing. One ploughing and 2-3 harrowings are given. About five to seven cart-loads of farm yard manure- are applied. Usually the crop is drilled at the rate of 18-144 kg. (40 lb.) per acre. The agriculture department of the State has recommended chafa as an improved variety of gram. A common practice of plucking oil the tender tops of the shoots before the flowering time is followed. This renders them strong and bushy and increases the outturn of the grain. The gram crop matures in about four months. The plants are pulled out and stacked for about a week in the threshing floor, dried and trampled under the feet of oxen. Sometimes they are beaten with sticks to get the grain.

Mug.

Usually mug is grown as a kharif crop between June and August when it is sown mixed with cereals. It occupied an area of 25,982.055 hectares (64,203 acres) in 1961-62. It does best on well-drained, medium black soils of the district. Its tillage consists of one ploughing and two harrowings. The seeds are drilled at a distance of 228.6 mmX304.8 mm (9" X 12"). The application of five cart-loads of farm-yard manure and.50.802 kg. (112 lb.) of superphosphate are sufficient for an acre. The crop becomes ready for harvest after three and a half months from its sowing. The plants are uprooted and stacked in the threshing floor for about a week, and threshed by beating with sticks or trampling under the feet of oxen.

Tur.

Tur was grown over an area of 8207-032 hectares (20,280 acres) in 1961-62. Tur grown as a kharif crop is generally sown in June and is ripe for harvest bv January. Well-drained and medium to heavy soils are suitable for the crop. It is sown mixed either with cotton or with jowar at a distance of about 914.4 mm (36 inches) between the two rows. Its tillage and the requirement of manure's and fertilisers are the same followed for the main crop with which it is sown. Tur crop grows very slowly till the main crop is harvested. Its stem becomes thick, woody and strong. Sometimes ripe pods are picked up before the plants are cut. The crop is usually harvested from January onwards. The plants are then cut close to the ground, tied into bundles and carried to the threshing floor where they are beaten with sticks to break open the pods. The green pods of tur are eaten as a vegetable. The ripe pulse is split and eaten boiled in various ways.

Udid.

Udid covered an area of 20,734.492 hectares (51,236 acres) in 1961-62. Generally udid is grown as a mixed crop with jowar during the kharif season i.e., between June and September. The crop in the district is produced in medium black and red lateritc soils. One ploughing and two horrowings are given. The seeds are drilled at the rate of 5.443 to 6.804 kg. (12 to 15 lb.) per acre. Five cartloads of farm yard manure and top dressing of 50.802 kg. (112 Ib.) of superphosphate are applied.

Other pulses.

The other important pulses grown in the district are horsegram (hulge), math and chavali which occupied an area of 22,078.454; 5,314.741 and 2,860.725 hectares (54,557; 13,133 and 7,069 acres) respectively in 1961-62. Horsegram is mainly produced in Dhulia. Sindkheda. Shirpur. Sakri, Nawapur and Shaliada lalukas. Math is predominantly grown in Dhulia, Sindkheda, Shirpur. Sakri, Nandurbar and Shahada talukas. Chavali is taken almost all over the district. All these pulses are grown in kharif season as mixed crops with cereals. The cultivating methods and the harvesting operations are more or less the same as those followed in the case of gram, udid or mug.
