Chickpea Black Pearl

The Black Pearl® chickpea variety represents a high-quality agronomic variety intended for stable cultivation and good yields. The plant is characterized by low growth and a semi-erect bush with anthocyanin stem coloring, giving it a distinctive appearance. The flowers of this variety are purple-pink, and the seeds are black, angular in shape, and strongly ribbed, which is its unique feature.

The Black Pearl® variety is distinguished by its earliness with a vegetative period ranging from 75 to 105 days, allowing for harvest in relatively short periods. It has enhanced drought resistance, making it suitable for cultivation under conditions of limited moisture. Average yield in the recommended growing region is about 21.2 centners per hectare. The mass of 1000 seeds varies from 130 to 190 grams, and protein content reaches 24.9%, indicating the high nutritional value of the product.

In addition, the variety demonstrates disease resistance; specifically, weak infection with ascochitis is observed in field conditions, which facilitates care and reduces yield losses. All these characteristics make Black Pearl® chickpeas an attractive choice for agrarians seeking efficient and high-quality pulse crop production.
