To investigate the adaptability of a range of chickpea varieties and breeding lines to acidic soils of the Dookie region.
This trial was sown to showcase to growers, the viability of growing chickpeas in the region and evaluate varietal performance in the local conditions at Dookie 2019. Desi varieties were among top three of the highest yielding varieties. Grain yields were very good (0.90- 1.53 t/ha) considering the very dry finish at Dookie.
