| Version ID | 433 |
| Innovation Title | Chickpea inbred variety Eshete for cultivation in dry mid-altitudes in Ethiopia and India |
| Innovation description | Eshete is the first machine harvestable, early maturing variety released in Ethiopia with grain yield estimates of 1.4 to 1.5 mt/ha. Among its stress-related traits are fusarium wilt resistance, aschochyta blight resistance, and drought tolerance. This variety will potentially contribute to SDG`s 1,2,3,7,8,11,12, and 13. |
