The adoption pattern of improved varieties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and their impact
on farm income in NICRA village of Ratlam district with small household’s farmers spread
over village Nawabganj and Sabalgrah during 2021 and 2022. Farmers of this region mostly
preferred local varieties of chickpea as compared to improved varieties (JG-14 and RVH-202).
The major constraints expressed by farmers in the adoption of improved varieties of chickpea
included: low awareness of the new varieties; lack of pest-resistant varieties; non-availability
of seeds of improved varieties; lack of access to credit; high cost of seeds; and lack of short or
extra short duration varieties. The physical and financial performance of JG-14 and RVG-202
were found to be better as compared to local varieties of chickpea. The result shows that the
rate of adoption pattern of seed replacement of improved varieties increased up to 11% in year
2022. The finding put in place a system for demonstrating the production potential of the new
and promising chickpea varieties and providing timely information, credit, inputs and market
support to accelerate the adoption and production of chickpeas in the state. The results also
provide deep insight to stakeholders of chickpea not only to penetrate in seed markets but also
help in deciding how to design an R&D program as well.
