Grass Pea

Grass Pea (Kheshari Dal) is a resilient pulse crop cultivated as part of sustainable and regenerative agricultural systems. It is well-adapted to marginal soils and low-input farming conditions, making it an important crop for climate-resilient agriculture. Grass pea contributes to soil fertility through its nitrogen-fixing properties and supports balanced crop rotation practices.

Within a regenerative agro ecosystem, grass pea cultivation helps improve soil structure, organic matter content, and long-term land productivity. It is often grown as a seasonal crop to enhance soil health while providing a reliable source of pulse production. The crop’s adaptability makes it suitable for experimental plots, mixed farming systems, and sustainable land use planning.

Grass pea also plays a role in strengthening food security and rural livelihoods by providing a cost-effective source of plant-based protein. When integrated with livestock and fodder systems, crop residues can be reused efficiently, supporting a circular agro economy. Through responsible cultivation and modern farm management practices, grass pea farming contributes to sustainable agriculture, ecological balance, and long-term agricultural resilience.
