Lentils 1st Edition

Lentils 1st Edition by Jasim Ahmed is a practical, research-informed guide for anyone serious about pulse production. Whether you manage family plots in South Asia or run commercial operations in Mediterranean and temperate regions, this book distills agronomy into clear, actionable steps that improve yields and profitability.

Start with a compelling overview of why lentils matter—nutrient-dense, nitrogen-fixing, and central to diets across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and beyond. From there, the author walks readers through critical decisions: selecting the right varieties for local climates, preparing seedbeds, precision sowing, nutrient management, and integrated pest and disease control. Emphasis on soil health, water-use efficiency and sustainable practices makes the guidance both modern and practical for smallholders and commercial growers alike.

Rich with field-tested techniques and troubleshooting tips, the book bridges science and practice. Learn how to time planting for optimal yields, recognize common disorders early, and implement low-cost interventions that reduce input costs. Post-harvest handling and market-ready quality considerations help farmers capture better prices and build resilient farm businesses.

Readable, authoritative, and regionally relevant, Lentils 1st Edition is ideal for agronomists, extension workers, students, and farmers focused on pulse crops. If you aim to enhance productivity, adopt sustainable methods, or expand into lentil production, this is the resource to consult.
