The higher grain yield of legumes was obtained from the application of FYM alone.
The incorporation of grain legumes like chickpea, lentil and field pea can be effective...
Can farmers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) boost crop yields and improve food availability without using more mineral fertilizer? This question has been at the center...
