The area sown with tur, urad and other pulses in the state has risen by 77% from last year. The area sown with pulses was 5.81 lakh hectares this year, while this number was 3.28 lakh ha last year.<br /> <br /> There are several factors behind the increased cultivation of pulses. The Union government has increased the minimum support price (MSP) of dals by Rs 200, from Rs 4,300 to Rs 4,500 per quintal. Delayed sowing because of the late arrival of the rains has also led farmers to switch to pulses<br /> <br /> Officials in the agriculture department said that the farmers are leaving behind cotton crop and are now moving back to their traditional groundnut farming or are turning to pulses.<br /> <br /> In Gujarat this year, groundnut has been sown on 15.92 lakh hectares, against the 10-year average acreage of 13.93 lakh hectares. This indicates that 114% of the usual area was sown with groundnut. Last year groundnut was sown on only 12.84 lakh hectares.<br /> <br /> This year, cotton has been sown on 22.81 lakh hectares against the 10-year average acreage of 28.21 lakh hectares. This represents just 80% of the usual cotton average.
