Black gram Split

Description

Black Gram or we can say "Urad" originated in India where it has been spreading its wonderful taste in many different ways for ages now. Cultivated in almost all parts of India, this leguminous pulse has inevitably marked itself as the most popular pulse and can be most appropriately referred to as the "king of the pulses". Whether it be the very special "Dal makhni" of Punjab or the Vada Sambhar of South India, the taste rules the hearts of one and all alike. Indian immigrants have popularized the taste worldwide as well.

Uses

One of the major disease of Black Gram is Tan Spot which is caused by Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens. It can be easily diagnosed by the leaf spots appearing on the plant however when the damage is serious then it results in stunting of the plant, retarding growth of pods and seeds. Therefore this disease severely affects the harvest.

Charcoal Rot is another important disease commonly observed in Black Gram. It hampers seed growth and results in poor harvest and even degrading of quality of seeds.

Various diseases caused by fungi, bacteria and viruses are generally common to Black Gram
