Description This paper summarizes achievements of chickpea and lentil breeding during the last
decade /2005-2015/ in Ethiopia. Gentic yield gains from decadal breeding efforts
were 80 kg/ha/year for chickpea and 52 kg/ha/yr for lentil. The germplasm
enhancment and subsequent variety evaluation verification programs during the
decade resulted in releases of 17 chickpea and 2 lentil varieties. These advanced
varieties, when applied in production system with proper crop managment and
protection practices, almost doubled productivity per unit area at farm level.
