India is largest producer of pulses in the world with 25 per cent share in global production. Majority of the pulse-growing regions are vulnerable to climate change as maximum threshold temperature for tolerance of pulses has already been reached beyond 35oC. Chickpea, pigeonpea, mungbean, uradbean, lentil and fieldpea are important pulses crop contributing 39 per cent, 21 per cent, 11 per cent, 10 per cent, 7 per cent and 5 per cent to the total production of pulses in the country. The total production was estimated 14.56 million tonnes and an area of 23.63 million hectares with average productivity 625 kg/ha. Climate change will surely have an adverse impact on productivity on account of reduction of total crop cycle duration. Most of the pulses like mungbean and uradbean short duration crop.

Majority of the pulse-growing regions are vulnerable to climate change as maximum threshold temperature for tolerance of pulses has already been reached beyond 35oC.
