16. Constraints in production Climate and weather • Unfavourableweather conditions (Flood, drought, heat and cold wave) Problematic Soil • Abnormal soil conditions (Acid, saline and alkaline etc)

17. Varietal constraints • Lack of high yielding varieties • Low harvest Index • High susceptibility to disease and insect pests • Flower and fruit drop

18. Varietal constraints • Lack of short duration cultivar • Poor response to inputs • Indeterminate growth habits • Instability in performance

19. Quality seed constraints • Poor quality seed • Inadequate availability of seeds • High price • Untimely supply

20. Agronomic constraints • Improper sowing time • Low seed rate • Defective method of sowing • Inadequate interculture • Insufficient Irrigation • Sowing under Utera condition

24. Inadequate extension services

25. Training constraints • Socioeconomic constraints • Inadequate extension facilities

26. Miscellaneous constraints • Lack of machinery • Losses during storage • Losses during processing

27. Way to realize production potential • Role of high yielding varieties • Disease resistance • Pests resistances • Abiotic resistances

28. Way to realize production potential • Role of high yielding varieties • Disease resistance • Pests resistances • Abiotic resistances

29. Way to realize production potential • Catch cropping • Double cropping • Intercropping • Response to inputs

30. Sequential cropping • Summer oilseed and pulses • Rabi pigeon pea • Summer mung bean + pigeon pea • Late sown chickpea in irrigated area • Pulses in rice fallow

31. Intercropping System • Cereal+ pulse (Barley /Wheat + Lentil/ Gram • Oilseed+ pulse (Mustard /linseed + lentil/Gram • Pulse +pulse (Gram +Lentil Field pea) • Sugar cane +Pulse (moong/ urd)

32. Non monetary Management • Choice of variety • Seed inoculation • Seed treatments • Sowing time
