Genesis 090 Chickpea

GenesisTM 090 is the “benchmark” ascochyta resistant, small kabuli chickpea in southern Australia.  Broadly adapted with high yield potential.

• It is medium flowering and maturing, which makes it suitable for most growing areas.

• Resistant to ascochyta blight and requires management similar to other resistant varieties.

• Not suitable for crop topping and its height makes it unsuitable for weed wiping.

• Suits many farming systems including inter-row sowing into standing stubbles and wider (>30cm) row spacings.

• GenesisTM 090 has predominantly 7-8mm seed, which is smaller than AlmazA (8-10mm).

• Grain prices will be lower than large kabuli price but usually higher than a desi price.
