Well-drained, sandy loam to clay loam soils are ideal, with a pH ranging from 6.0 to 7.5. pulses grown in kharif season
Kharif pulses are major crops in India, primarily sown at the onset of the southwest monsoon (June–July) and harvested in autumn (September–October) . These "monsoon crops" are vital for soil fertility due to their nitrogen-fixing properties and serve as an essential protein source. Key Pulses Grown in Kharif Season The following are the primary pulses cultivated during the Kharif season: Arhar (Pigeon Pea/Tur): One of the most important Kharif pulses, typically grown in well-drained loamy soils. Moong (Green Gram): A short-duration crop often used in multiple cropping systems. It is popular in regions like Assam and Maharashtra. Urd (Black Gram): Similar to Moong, it thrives in warm, humid climates and is a staple Kharif crop. Lobia (Cowpea): Cultivated for both its grain and as a fodder crop. Kulthi (Horse Gram): Often grown in drier areas or on less fertile soil during the Kharif season. Moth (Moth Bean): Highly drought-resistant and commonly grown in arid regions.
