It is a hardy, short-duration pulse crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe protein-rich seeds are an important food pulse and a traditional Ayurvedic remedy, notably for kidney and urinary stones, while the whole plant is valued as fodder, green manure and a soil-improving nitrogen-fixing cover crop. Exceptionally drought-hardy, it succeeds on poor, shallow soils. In India it is grown as a rainfed dryland crop across the Deccan, southern and central regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fabaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative region:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indian subcontinent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailing herb, 0.3–0.6 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seeds germinate readily and usually need no pre-treatment, though an overnight soak speeds emergence on dry soils. Direct-sow them about 2–3 cm deep in prepared, well-drained soil with the onset of the rains; germination is rapid, typically 3–7 days. Keep the seedbed moist until the plants establish, after which the crop tolerates dry spells well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51052326551798,"sku":"SED-TRE-DOLICHOS-001","price":559.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-seeds-dolichos-biflorus-horsegram-0-5-kg-seeds-16968830025868.jpg?v=1782714466","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/dolichos-biflorus-horsegram-0-5-kg-seeds","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
