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