| Description |
India currently accounts for nearly 70% of the global chickpea production and consumption. There has been a large shift in chickpea area from north to south over the past four decades. The chickpea production has increased substantially in the recent years. Over 200 improved varieties have been released from different parts of India. The major constraints to chickpea production include moisture stress, temperature extremities, root diseases, pod borer, and weeds. Transgenics are being developed for enhancing pod-borer resistance. Integrated breeding efforts are being made to develop varieties with improved resistance/tolerance to key abiotic and biotic stresses, suitability to mechanical harvesting and tolerance to herbicides.
