Plant resources of south-east asia 1 : pulses

Prosea, short for 'Plant Resources of South-East Asia', is an international programme focused on South-East Asia. Its purpose is to make available the wealth of dispersed knowledge on plant resources for education, extension, research and industry through a computerized data bank and an illustrated multivolume handbook. A thorough knowledge of plant resources is essential for human life and plays a key role in ecologically balanced land-use systems. Extensive information on the plants growing in the region is needed to enable the plant resources of each country to be used optimally. A large international team of experts is preparing the texts on particular species or genera, which are being published in commodity groups. All taxa are treated in a similar manner with details on uses, botany, ecology, agronomy or silviculture, genetic resources, breeding, prospects and literature.

This volume deals with pulses currently used and those that could be expanded in South-East Asia. Pulses are here defined as dry edible seeds of legumes. Legumes are members of the family Leguminosae. Among the crops included are groundnut, pigeon pea, chickpea, soya bean, lablab, grass pea, lentil, horse gram, tepary bean, runner bean, Lima bean, common bean, pea, faba bean, moth bean, adzuki bean, a re, black gram, mung bean, bambara groundnut, rice bean and cowpea. A glossary explains the terms used.
