- Observation Groundnut farmers' average yield in India is 1150 kg ha-1.
- Observation Pigeonpea farmers' average yield in India is 690 kg ha-1.
- Observation Chickpea farmers' average yield in India is 800 kg ha-1.
- Observation Soybean total yield gap in the production zones ranged from 850 to 1320 kg ha-1.
- Observation Groundnut total yield gap in the production zones ranged from 1180 to 2010 kg ha-1.
- Observation Pigeonpea total yield gap in the production zones ranged from 550 to 770 kg ha-1.
- Observation Chickpea total yield gap in the production zones ranged from 610 to 1150 kg ha-1.
- Observation Yield gaps of the four legumes showed large spatial and temporal variability across the production zones.
- Association Simulated rainfed potential yields and total yield gaps showed a positive, significant curvilinear relationship with crop season rainfall in legumes.
- Observation Estimated surface runoff was 11 to 54% of total rainfall during the growing period of rainy season legumes.
- Observation Total yield gaps of legumes for the AEZs and states of India were in a similar range to those of the production zones.
- Recommendation An integrated watershed management approach is needed to abridge yield gaps of legumes.
