Important macro and microelements in different genotypes of chickpea and lentil were determined. Maximum concentrations (mg/100g) of Na, K, Ca, Mg, P, Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu were observed in chickpea genotypes C-727 (24.23), Pb-91 (1686.9), CM-98 (87.02), Pb-91 (228.29), Pb-91 (181.13), Paidar- 91 (6.78), CM-89 (3.34), Paidar-91 (1.60) and CM- 72 (1.29) and lentil genotypes TCL-85-1 (34.43), 46-3-3-1 (1250.3), 583-2 (85.0), 46-3-3-1 (200.59), Precoz (329.1), 583-2 (6.95), TCL-85-1 (4.40), 46-3-3-1 (1.37) and 79-1 (0.73). K, Mg, Mn and Cu were higher in chickpea, Na and P contents were higher in lentil whereas Ca, Fe and Zn contents were comparable in both the pulses. Coefficient of variability (CV) in different elements varied from 4.76% (Mn) to 15.09 % (Na) in chickpea and 7.66% (Na) to 21.39% (P) in lentil. Correlations between protein content and different minerals in chickpea and lentil were not significant. Field fortification of staples for minerals versus post-harvest addition is discussed.
