An innovative natural speed breeding technique for accelerated chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) generation turnover
Our investigation revealed that the combination of this location advantage (40%) with the sowing of FIG seeds (14%) enables Baramati to achieve progress from F2 to F5 in 1.5 years, with two generation cycles per rabi (cool) season. Using the nSB method can save 3 years, marking a notable reduction from the conventional six-year timeline. Moreover, incorporating the additional abiotic stresses mentioned above will further reduce the generation advancement time. Therefore, nSB accelerates generation turnover and reduces varietal improvement time at a low cost.
