duration and Fusarium wilt resistant varieties also fetched good price in the local
market. During the end of the study period almost 2 million hectares of land has
come under chickpeas cultivation. Improved varieties of chickpeas have led to the
shift from sorghum and ragi to chickpea in Karnataka. Kerala on the other hand
experienced negative growth in area and insignificant growth in yield rate and Tamil
Nadu underwent insignificant growth in area as well as productivity during the same
time period.
