NOTES

Note : type names need to be clarified : Tur / Toor (early-maturing / short duration), Medium duration, Arhar / Arhur / Urhur (late-maturing / long duration) Hindi names ?

It is reported that 10 maturity groups have been identified in Indian conditions. These 10 groups are narrowed down to four as : Extra early, Early, Medium, and Late maturing. Any Hindi name for any of those ? Of course these may or may not translate well in other parts of the globe. This is why more taxonomical / horticultural work needs to be done.

Cultivar groups have not yet been worked out.
