Article Synopsis
- Fusarium wilt (FW) is a major soil-borne disease affecting chickpeas, leading to potential yield losses of up to 100%, prompting the need for resistant varieties.
- The breeding program involved using the resistant WR 315 variety to develop new lines, specifically KCD 5 and KCD 11, which were tested for their disease resistance and yield performance across multiple trials.
- KCD 11 demonstrated significant yield improvements over the JG 11 variety and regional checks, showcasing its potential as a high-yield and FW-resistant chickpea option for growers in Karnataka.
