Episode description
A 90-day summer chickpea crop could soon be a reality for the north, giving growers a pulse option to plant in February and harvest in June.
Researchers involved in the summer chickpea project, made possible through GRDC investment, have spent the summer assessing the performance of 20 chickpea lines across five different locations.
As project lead Dr Angela Pattison from the University of Sydney explains, the trial results and yield potential of the system are showing real promise.
