Abstract
Lentil is an important food legume crop component of farming and food systems of many countries globally. It plays an important role in human, animal, and soil health improvement occupying a unique position in cereal-based cropping systems. Its ability in nitrogen fixation and carbon sequestration improves soil nutrient status, which in turn provides sustainability in crop production systems. Lentil is tolerant of different soil types
and of low fertility and this has assured its place as a crop of marginal lands.
