Abstract

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).
