Chickpea variety development locations
Aims

To investigate the effects of soil type and climate on the yield of commercial varieties and advanced breeding lines in Victoria and thereby assist in the selection of superior varieties for farmers in this state.

Key messages
  • The first ascochyta blight resistant desi chickpea variety, Genesis 508™, is available to growers this year.
  • A small-medium seeded kabuli variety, Genesis 090™, will be commercially available in 2006.
  • Both varieties have been commercialised through Australian Agricultural Commodities (AAC).
  • These varieties require fewer fungicide applications to manage ascochyta blight and much reduced risk.
  • Each must be considered separately based on regional yield and quality.
