| Innovation Title | Chickpea inbred variety RVG 204 for cultivation in the dry lowlands of India |
| Innovation description | RVG 204 is the first machine harvestable desi variety of chickpea for central and northern India. This variety has high yield potential in rainfed condition (2.20 to 2.25 mt/ha). it has desirable abiotic and biotic stress robustness, and dietary characteristics including digestibility, and high contents of iron, zinc, and protein. this variety will potentially contribute to SDG`s 1,2,3,8,10,12 and 13. |
