Information Profile @ a
Glance
- Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is a high value
pulse crop used almost entirely for human consumption Chickpeas are
grown in rotation with cereals.
- Chickpea seeds are eaten fresh as green
vegetables, parched, fried, roasted, and boiled; as snack food, sweet
and condiments; seeds are ground and the flour can be used as soup,
dhal, and to make bread; prepared with pepper, salt and lemon it is
served as a side dish.
- The large, white-seeded types, known as kabuli
chickpea or garbanzo bean, is a popular salad item
- The small, dark-seeded type, known as desi
chickpea, is used as split chickpea in dhal or ground into flour.
- Chickpea seed should be of sound quality with
high germination, purity and free of disease. Seed should be germination
tested before sowing.
- Chickpea leaves may prove to be an excellent
alternative food source in malnourished populations of the world, with a
mineral content that matches or exceeds spinach and cabbage.
- Chickpeas are rich in protein, complex
carbohydrates, and fiber, while low in fat and cholesterol Ascochyta
blight of chickpeas is caused by the fungal pathogen Ascochyta
rabiei.
- This disease is usually first noticed in late
winter when small patches of blighted plants appear throughout the
paddock
- Genesis 090 is a high yielding and widely
adapted small seeded kabuli chickpea with resistance to ascochyta
blight.
- Harvesting of chickpeas can take place when the
seed moisture is 18%.It may test dry after harvest, but it takes
some time for the moisture in the large seed to equalize across the
entire seed.
- Chickpeas mature in 3-7 months and the leaves
turn brown/yellow during maturity Chickpea or Chana, as it is popularly
know in India, is a native to the Middle East and has been grown
traditionally throughout the semi-arid regions of India and the
Mediterranean. Chickpea is the third most important pulse crop (after
dry bean and pea) and makes up for 20% of the world pulse
production.
- Chickpea is used exclusively as food in many
countries, though it is used as livestock feed in Mexico.
- Major producers of chickpea include India,
Pakistan, and Mexico. Turkey, Mexico, Iran, Australia and Canada are the
main exporters.
- Mediterranean, South Asian and South American
countries are the main importers.
- North America has a small domestic market for
chickpea and chickpea products.
- Canada is the world’s largest producer and
exporter of peas and lentils and second largest producer and exporter of
chickpeas to an expanding market.
