SUMMER CEREALS / CHICKPEA 

Cicer arietinum

Early/ mid-early, high-yielding, anthracnose- and seed-scattering-resistant chickpea variety (kabuli type)

Very productive

The height of the plants is average

The stem is semi-erect

Leaves are medium green

Leaflets are large

The flowers are white

Flowering - medium early

Maturity - medium early

Resistance to lodging is very good

Resistance to seed scattering is very good

Resistant to anthracnose

Disease resistance is good

Frost resistant up to -12°C

Seeds - dark brown, 8 mm, round to angular

Weight of 1000 seeds - 300 (299-316) g

Protein content -22-24%

Soils are undemanding. The seeds germinate at a soil temperature of 5 ° C. Does not tolerate high soil moisture

These are plants of long vegetation. Heat is required during flowering and pod development (about 24 ° C)

Viability - Excellent (9 out of 10)

Soil coverage - excellent (9.5 points out of 10)

Plant height - medium height (60-70 cm)

Plant growth pattern - excellent (9 points out of 10)

Vitality is steep

Resistance to anthracnose (Ascochyta rabiei) – very good (8 points out of 10)

Sleep resistance - excellent (9 out of 10)

Germination power is very good

Seed dispersal - very low (0.5 points out of 10)

Flowering time is early

The ripening time is early

*According to research in Germany and France (resistant to pathogen races known and studied in those countries)

Advantages of cultivation:

Economic - growing demand

Agronomic:

Crop rotation is varied

A good prelude

Accumulates nitrogen

Enriches poorer soils

Improves soil structure

Under different growing conditions than those found in these studies, cultivar parameters may differ from those given here.

SOWING RATE

Recommended seeding rate: 60 plants/m², or 180 kg/ha (179-190 kg/ha)
