Why Chickpea Is Important In Daily Life
by Digital Educate Agriculture BlogsGram is one of the main food
crops in East Asia. Since it has a high nutritional value, it has a high demand
in the world food market. In India, gram cultivation is done on a large scale.
Therefore, a significant amount of foreign exchange is spent on imports. This
study will contribute to the development of the country in the future. Gram( Chane Ki Kheti ) is an important cereal legume in Asia, and is
a rich and inexpensive source of protein that can help people improve the
nutritional quality of their diet. It is mainly imported for use from other
countries.
Gram is used in medicine such
as increasing sperm and milk, stimulating menstruation and urine, and helping
treat kidney stones. Gram is grown in tropical, subtropical and temperate
regions. Kabuli type gram is grown in temperate regions while indigenous type
gram is grown in semi-arid tropics. Gram has high protein content, 25.3– 28.9%,
with gram value for its nutritious seeds. A small proportion of canned
chickpeas is also used in Turkey and Latin America.
Chemical and organic
fertilizers were used as basal dressings. Three beds were used for the
establishment of (30 X 45) cm spacing plants recommended by the Department of
Agriculture, India. The other 9 beds were fitted with (25 x 40) cm, (35 X 50)
cm, (35 X 40 cm), respectively, with 3 replicates. All beds were provided with
the same management practices such as seed planting, irrigation, weeding, pest
and disease control and fertilizer applications.
Three gram seeds were planted
in a hole. After planting the seeds, all beds were covered using straw to
prevent external deformation. Germination of seeds was observed 5 to 6 days
after sowing the seeds. The sprinkler irrigation system was used to irrigate
gram farming( Chane Ki Kheti ). All
beds were irrigated with an interval of two days. Straw mulch was not removed
as it would help conserve soil moisture. Weeding was done 14, 30 and 45 days
after germination.
