Key messages
  • Chickpeas - New ascochyta blight resistant varieties of chickpeas continue to offer great promise, but the 2006 drought severely reduced seed availability for 2007. Large seed production areas are planned for 2007 and large quantities of seed should be available in 2008 of all chickpea varieties listed below.
  • Fieldpeas - Varieties Sturt and Bundi (limited seed supply) will be available to growers in 2007. Both provide yield advantages over Kaspa. New early flowering Kaspa type field pea varieties have been identified and will be available to growers by 2009-10.
  • Lentils - The 2006 drought has delayed the release of Nipper to growers until 2008. The green lentil Boomer will also be released in 2008 and offers an opportunity for development of a green lentil industry in Victoria.
