BGD 72 Chickpeas

Released in 1999, BGD 72 stands as a distinctive chickpea variety well-suited for rainfed conditions due to its medium-duration growth cycle. This particular cultivar showcases bold seeds and remarkable resistance to wilt, root rot, and moderate resilience against root diseases. Additionally, its impressive drought tolerance makes it a favorable choice. Maturing approximately 135-140 days after transplantation, BGD 72 yields an average of 25-30 quintals per hectare.
