 ABSTRACT

A new variety of chickpea NBeG 49, released by ANGRAU in the year 2017 was introduced in the district by KVK Darsi, which can tolerate wilt and moisture stredd. KVK, Darsi, demonstrated the performance of NBeG 49 over JG 11 in FLDs in 4.0 ha each from 2016-17 to 2018-19. NBeG 49 has shown advantage over JG 11 in terms of yield attributes, yield and wilt tolerance. Yield of NBeG 49 was 13.4 q ha-1 with net returns and C: B ratio of 29966.7 Rs ha-1 and 1:1.8, respectively. Whereas, JG 11 recorded yield of 10.6 q ha-1 with net returns and C: B ratio of 14033.3 Rs ha-1 and 1:1.4, respectively.
