Stable chickpea yields in challenging environments

The «Kulundinsky 5» chickpea variety, developed under the auspices of FANSA, occupies a solid niche in the mid-ripening crop segment, focused on stability in high-risk farming conditions. With a vegetation period of 95–105 days, this variety allows producers to plan planting and harvesting cycles with high precision, which is critical for regions with limited active temperature windows.

Agronomic potential and grain quality

A key characteristic of this model is its genetic resistance to Fusarium and Ascochyta blight. These are not just figures in a catalog, but a tool for reducing crop protection costs. Visually, «Kulundinsky 5» is easily recognizable by its pea-shaped beige seeds. With a 1000-seed weight of 250–300 grams, the variety demonstrates an optimal fraction for most processing facilities.

• Vegetation period: 95–105 days.
• Potential yield: 1.5–2.0 tons/ha.
• Nutritional value: Protein content ranges from 22–24%, making it highly sought after both in the feed market and the food industry.

The variety's reputation is built on reliability: breeder control ensures compliance with the declared characteristics. At scale, the variety shows strong adaptability to growing conditions, remaining a preferred choice for farms that prioritize predictable results and high-quality raw materials suitable for both export and domestic consumption.
