Description There is an increasing international market for extra-large
(>50g 100-seed-1) kabuli chickpea. Such chickpeas are
being sold at about three times the price of desi chickpea
and about two times the price of medium-seeded (~25 g
100 seed-1) kabuli chickpea in India, the largest chickpea
importing country. None of the kabuli chickpea varieties
released to date in India has seed size larger than 40 g 100
seed-1. Thus, the Government of India has launched a 3-
year project from 1 April 2006 on breeding extra-large
kabuli chickpea with resistance to fusarium wilt under the
Integrated Scheme of Oilseeds, Pulses, Oil Palm and Maize
(ISOPOM).
