The important pulses in the district include lakh, horse gram, black gram, gram and green gram. These and other minor pulses together occupied 14.67 per cent of the gross cropped area during the period from 1957-58 to 1959-60 in the district as against 10.69 per cent for the State. The cultivation of these crops was concentrated in Brahmapuri (24.64 per cent), Rajura (16.96 per cent), Gadhchiroli (16.73 per cent) and Chandrapur (13.42 per cent) tahsils. The acreage under these crops and their outturn during the period between 1956-57 and 1961-62 are given in table Nos. 11 and 12, respectively. The description of each of these crops including the method of its cultivation, the soils required for it etc. is given below. The damage to those crops due to the pests and diseases is explained in separate sections in this chapter.
