Innovation TitleKabuli chickpea inbred variety JGK 6 for cultivation in dry lowlands in India
Innovation description JGK 6 is is a large-seeded Kabuli early- maturing chickpea variety with semi-erect crop stand. Field tests estimated yield potential of 2 mt/ha. it has desirable biotic and abiotic stress robustness, with highly-digestible and high-protein grains. This variety will potentially contribute to SDG`s 1,2,3,8,12,and 13.
