  Activity/Product Description
    
Drought is a wide range yield limiting factor in chickpea across several geographies. Heat is also in a progressive expansion in agro-ecologies of crop production. The current initiative is an initiative to combat the yield limitation due to those abiotic factors in chickpea by developing lines with genetic tolerance to these.
