Chickpea Tamerlan

Agrotechnical potential of 'Tamerlan' chickpeas

The breeding program of RosNIISK 'Rossorgo' is focused on creating varieties capable of stable yields under challenging climatic conditions. The 'Tamerlan' variety is a mid-ripening culture that completes its vegetation cycle in 95–105 days. This timeframe is critical for regions with a short frost-free period, allowing harvest to be completed before autumn rains, which directly impacts the preservation of grain quality.

Biological and production characteristics

• Pathogen resistance: Genetic protection against common chickpea diseases minimizes the need for fungicide treatments, which is a key factor in reducing production costs.
• Usage: The combined-purpose nature allows the seeds to be used for both food markets (high culinary properties) and deep processing.
• Morphology: The plant features an architecture suitable for mechanized harvesting, reducing header losses during direct combining.

The technical value of 'Tamerlan' lies in its adaptability to abiotic stress. Thanks to the selective work of 'Rossorgo', the variety demonstrates robust root system development, ensuring productivity even during moisture deficits during flowering and pod formation. When choosing this planting material, an agronomist receives a predictable result: a balance between yield potential and production efficiency, where every stage—from sowing to harvest—is standardized and manageable.
