| Version ID | 432 |
| Innovation Title | Chickpea inbred variety Phule Vishwaraj for cultivation in dry lowlands in India |
| Innovation description | Phule Vishwaraj is an early-maturing variety with semi-erect stand. it has high yield potential (1.6 to 2.8 mt/ha) with Fusarium wilt resistance, and drought tolerant making it suitable for rainfed condition. It`s dietary value is high digestibility, and high protein, iron and zinc content. this variety will potentially contribute to SDG`s 1,2,8,11,12, and 13. |
