OAR@ICRISATNew Chickpea Varieties for MyanmarOnkarSinghauthorTHanauthorKMoeauthorKSeinauthorAShweauthorA MThanauthorC WHlaingauthorNew chickpea lines have been introduced into Myanmar from ICRISAT. Lines with high yields and resistance to diseases and pests have been selected for advanced multilocational trials. ICCV2, ICCV5 and ICCV88202 performed better than the local varieties (2.2, 2.51 and 1.52 t/ha, respectively, in 1992-93 compared with 1.36 and 1.47 t/ha for local varieties in multilocational tests). ICCC42 also produced a high yield, 1.0 t/ha compared with 0.69 t/ha from a local desi variety in farmers' fields in 1992-93. ICCV2 and ICCV88202 are very early maturing and so can make efficient use of limited soil moisture, and escape terminal drought and pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera) damage. ICCC42 and ICCV5 are of short to medium duration and efficiently use nutrients and soil moisture under irrigation. All the new varieties are resistant to wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris).Chickpea1994International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid TropicsArticle
