Subject Chickpea
Food legumes
 
Description ICRISAT is designated as a world centre for improving two cereal crops(sorghum and pearl millet) and three food legumes (chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut). The objectives of research on and breeding of the food legumes fall into six principal categories: (1) to strengthen national and regional programmes; (ii) to develop productive genotypes with stable yields of seeds of acceptable quality; (iii) to furnish parental lines, segregating populations, and advanced breeding material to national programmes; (iv) to arrange exchanges of-germplasm; (v) to disseminate information; and (vi) to train personnel. Substantial progress has been made during the last decade towards fulfilling these objectives. Examples of achievements to date are described and plans for the future are presented.
