Abstract
Multi-functional Lentil Varieties Package is a set of multi-functional
varieties and features for producing lentils in rice based and other
intercropping systems. They improve both production and
consumption aspects of lentils. From the production side, they
decrease the time necessary to harvest lentils, making it possible to
be grown in between two rice seasons in South Asia. They also
increase the nitrogen content in the soil decreasing the costs for rice
production. From the consumption side, since they have higher iron
and zinc content, they simultaneously improve the availability for
micro-nutrients for small scale farmers. Some of them also need less
energy and time to cook.
