        <dc:description>This study assesses the impact of improved chickpea cultivars in the state of Gujarat in&#13;
India. It is based on a household survey of chickpea growers spread over 24 villages spanning&#13;
four districts — Panchmahals, Jamnagar, Ahmedabad, and Junagadh. Growth and&#13;
instability in chickpea yield, extent of adoption, on-farm benefits, factors influencing adoption&#13;
of improved cultivars, and farmers' perception of varietal traits and constraints are&#13;
critically evaluated. Th e survey revealed that improved chickpea varieties showed distinctly&#13;
superior performance over local cultivars in terms of yield, net income, and per unit&#13;
cost of reduction, proving their cost- and profit-maximizing characteristics. Results from&#13;
the estimated Tobit model suggest that holding size, chickpea duration, and yield risk&#13;
significantly determined the probability and degree of adoption. Also, yellow color, bold&#13;
size, desi type, and round shape were the most preferred quality traits of chickpea in Gujarat.</dc:description>
