2. Technical Report 2015-16
Executive Summary
This report describes the progress made during Year 3 (2015-16) under the project
“Developing Chickpea Cultivars Suited to Mechanical Harvesting and Tolerant to
Herbicides”. The crop was not harvested in northern India at the time of the submission of the
Annual Report Year 3 in April 2016. Thus, this is the updated report prepared in July 2016
and includes all results of 2015-16 crop season.
NBeG 47, the machine-harvestable breeding line of desi chickpea, has been released for
commercial cultivation under the name “Dheera” in Andhra Pradesh during August 2015. A
total of 26 on-farm demonstrations (two in Anantapur, one in Mahaboobnagar, 16 in Kurnool
and seven in YSR Kadapa districts) were conducted on farmers’ fields with this variety. Nine
demonstrations had poor yield due to drought stress, so results of these demonstrations were
not considered for comparison. In the remaining 17 demonstrations, NBeG 47 was at par with
JG 11 in yield and had advantage of suitability to machine harvesting. The other desi
chickpea breeding line, GBM 2, suitable for mechanical harvesting has been released for
commercial cultivation in Karnataka state. GBM-2 was cultivated by 42 farmers as part of
on-farm demonstrations in four districts (18 in Bijapur, 13 in Dharwad, nine in Belgaum and
two in Gadag) in Karnataka. The results from 35 demonstrations suggest that the average
yield of GBM 2 was on par with that of JG 11/JAKI 9218.
New breeding lines suitable for mechanical harvesting are being developed and evaluated at
ICRISAT and other project partner locations. Selected tall and upright breeding lines from
MHT-1 and MHT-2 of 2014-15 were evaluated in MHT-1 during 2015-16. MHT-1A with 30
entries, including two checks, was conducted at IIPR-Kanpur, IARI-New Delhi and PAU-
Ludhiana, whereas MHT-1B with 30 entries, including three checks, was conducted at
ICRISAT-Patancheru, RAKCA-Sehore, RARS-Nandyal and RARS-Bijapur (under UAS-
Dharwad). The selection of promising entries suitable for mechanical harvesting was based
on first pod height (>25cm), angle of lowest primary branch (>600) and significantly higher
seed yield compared to the best check. Twenty-three promising entries were identified across
seven locations in MHT-1 out of which ICCVs 03105 and 07112 were common at three
locations (Patancheru, Nandyal and Sehore) and ICCV 05103 at two locations (Patancheru
and Bijapur). Hundred entries with desirable traits and good performance in station trials of
2014-15 were promoted to MHT-2 in 2015-16 and were evaluated at all the centers. A total
of 23 promising entries -Nandyal (1), Bijapur (3), Sehore (15), New Delhi (2) and Ludhiana
(2) were identified in MHT-2. New entries, in varying numbers from 10-117, were evaluated
in MHT-3 at paricipating centers. In total, 27 entries (14 in Patancheru, 4 in Nandyal, 2 in
Bijapur, 4 in Sehore and 3 in New Delhi) were found to be significantly superior in seed yield
along with two other important traits (first pod height >25 cm and angle of outer most
primary branch >60 degrees). During 2015-16, 39 new crosses were made besides advancing
76 F1s, 128 F2s, 54 F3s, 81 F4s, 69 F5s and 7 F6s.
To determine optimum seed rate, spacing and plant density for the selected tall and upright
breeding lines, agronomy trials were conducted with two genotypes - HC 5 and JAKI 9218 at
IIPR-Kanpur, GL 12021 and PBG 7 at PAU-Ludhiana, and GBM 2 and NBeG 47 at
RAKCA-Sehore, RARS-Nandyal and RARS-Bijapur. Among the four spacings tried, 22.5 x
6
10 cm spacing recorded highest yields at four locations suggesting that the plant density
should be enhanced for the machine harvestable varieties.
As part of evaluating the available combine harvesters, the Department of Farm Machinery
and Power Engineering at PAU-Ludhiana examined harvesting of two chickpea varieties
PBG 5 and PBG 7 by two combine harvesters (CLASS CT-30 and STANDARD S-390).
Though the threshing efficiency and cleaning efficiency were similar for both machines, the
total losses were less for tangential axial flow combine (CLASS CT-30) compared to the
conventional combine (STANDARD S-390).
In search of herbicide tolerance, breeding lines/cultivars/germplasm accessions were screened
under HTS-3, HTS-2 and HTS-1. The HTS-1 trial included 24 selected herbicide tolerant
lines from HTS-1 and HTS-2 of 2014-15 with three replications and an unsprayed control for
comparison. The entries such as ICCV 04307 (Patancheru, Bijapur, New Delhi and
Ludhiana), ICCIL 01034 (Nandyal, New Delhi, Kanpur and Ludhiana), NBeG 510 (Nandyal,
Bijapur and New Delhi), ICCV 08102 (Nandyal, Sehore and Kanpur), ICCV 09106 (Nandyal
and Bijapur), ICCV 11101 (Bijapur and Sehore), ICCV 93054 (Patancheru and Bijapur),
ICCV 97105 (Patancheru and New Delhi), ICCIL 01026 (Kanpur and Ludhiana), ICCV
08109 (Sehore and Kanpur) and ST-3-D-2 (Patancheru and Sehore) were found to be
common across locations. The selected entries (100), from HTS-3 of 2014-15 from all
locations, were screened under HTS-2. Sixty promising entries were identified among which
18 entries (GL 29078, ICCs 11508, 11514, 12237, 12315, 12316, 12333, 12346, 12507,
4963, 6098, 9032, ICCVs 03112, 11116, 97025, 97114, 97128, and JSC 37) were common in
two locations while JG 6 was common in three locations (Bijapur, Sehore and Kanpur). In
addition, all centers screened breeding lines/cultivars/germplasm accessions in varying
numbers from 10–296 in station trial HTS-3 for resistance to herbicides Imazethapyr
(Pursuit), Metribuzin (Sencor) and Carfentrazone ethyl (Affinity). Forty-five promising
entries (10 each at Patancheru, Sehore and Ludhiana and five each at Nandyal, Bijapur and
New Delhi) were selected which will be further evaluated. During 2015-16, 32 new crosses
were made and 24 F1s, 20 F2s, 27 F3s, two F4s, 35 F5s, five F6s and four F7s were advanced.
Mutagenesis experiments were continued using different entries (ICCV 10, JG 16, IPC 2006-
77, Pusa 372, GPF 2, RVG 202, JG 6, RVSJKG 102, ICC 95333, JG 11, KAK 2, JAKI 9218,
BGD 103 and BG 1105) in different generations from M1 to M3 at all stations. Besides, some
of the mutant populations were screened for herbicide tolerance.
Agronomic trials on weed management using herbicides were continued at four stations
(IIPR-Kanpur, RARS-Nandyal, PAU-Ludhiana and UAS-Dharwad) using two doses each of
two herbicides (Imazethapyr and Carfentrazone ethyl), hand weeding and weedy control.
Carfentrazone ethyl @ 20 g/ha was more effective in achieving higher yields at four locations
(Nandyal, Bijapur, Sehore and Ludhiana).
Scientists from other locations monitored the progress of the trials at each location. The
Annual Review and Planning Meeting was organized at PAU-Ludhiana on 30 September
2015 in which the results of 2014-15 crop season were discussed and the workplan for 2015-
16 was refined.

Objective 1: Develop chickpea cultivars suited to mechanical harvesting
Activity 1.1: Evaluate selected tall and upright breeding lines at farmers’ fields for
assessing yield performance and suitability to combine harvesting.
NBeG 47 has been released for commercial cultivation in Andhra Pradesh during August
2015 as ‘Dheera’. A total of 710 kg seed of NBeG 47 was distributed among 25 farmers (two
in Anantapur, one in Mahaboobnagar, 16 in Kurnool and six in YSR Kadapa districts) for
conducting the on-farm demonstrations in their fields. Out of the 25 demonstrations, results
were obtained from 16 in which the average yield of NBeG 47 (1,454 kg/ha) was on par with
the check JG 11 (1,450 kg/ha) besides being suitable for mechanical harvesting.

A field day was organized in Vennapusalapalli village of Anantapur district to demonstrate
combine harvesting of NBeG 47 with the participation of 30 farmers, two scientists from
ICRISAT and six staff members of RARS-Nandyal. The field day was successful as the
farmers observed the suitability of NBeG 47 for mechanical harvesting by a combiner. They
were particularly impressed by the speed and efficiency of the harvester. Three acres of field
was harvested in one hour 15 minutes and the threshing losses were minimal, whereas, the
traditional manual harvesting would have taken 2-3 days to clear the same field. The farmers
were thoroughly convinced that mechanical harvesting saves time and money on labor wages
besides reducing losses due to delay in harvesting.

On-farm demonstrations conducted by UAS-Dharwad on GBM 2 in Karnataka
GBM-2 was cultivated by 43 farmers as part of on-farm demonstrations in four districts (18
in Bijapur, 14 in Dharwad, nine in Belgaum and two in Gadag) of Karnataka. JG 11 or JAKI
9218 was used as check. The results from 35 demonstrations suggest that the average yield of
GBM 2 (1,176 kg/ha) was on par with that of JG 11/JAKI 9218 (1,202 kg/ha).
A field day was conducted at Rayapur, Dharwad to demonstrate the suitability of GBM 2
chickpea variety to harvesting by a combiner with the participation of officials from
University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad (Dr BS Janagoudar, Director Research, and Dr
VI Benagi, Director Extension), Chairman of APMC and other in line departments along with
40 farmers. The farmers observed the mechanical harvesting by combiner and appreciated the
speed and efficiency of operation by the combiner which could save them time and money
compared to traditional manual harvesting and threshing manually or by a machine.

Activity 1.2: Evaluate tall and upright breeding lines for grain yield in multilocation trials
The selected tall and upright breeding lines (suited to mechanical harvesting) from 2014-15
trials (MHT-1, MHT-2, MHT-3) at different partner locations were evaluated in multilocation
trials (MHT-1 and MHT-2) in 2015-16.
MHT-1 (MHT-1A for northern India and MHT-1B for central and southern India): MHT-1A consisted of 28 entries along with two checks (HC-5 and a local check) while
MHT-1B had 27 entries with three checks (JAKI 9218, NBeG47 and GBM-2). The trial was
in RBD with 3 reps. Each plot had 3 rows of 4 m.
Promising entries were identified based on first pod height (>25cm), angle of lowest primary
branch (>600) and seed yield (significantly superior and on par with best check). Several
entries appeared promising but only the performance of top ten entries was presented in Table
1.2.1 for all locations. The entries whose seed yields were in bold and underlined were
superior to the best check, while the entries with seed yields in bold were on par with the best
check at respective locations.

MHT-2 (MHT-2A for northern India and MHT-2B for central and southern India): This trial consisted of 100 entries (including 2 checks) selected from station trials (MHT-3)
conducted at each station during 2014-15. This is an initial evaluation trial with 3
replications. Each plot consisted of a single row of 4 m. This trial was conducted at all seven
locations.
Promising entries were identified based on first pod height (>25cm), angle of lowest primary
branch (>600) and seed yield (significantly superior and on par with best check). Out of the
several promising entries, only the performance of top 15 entries was presented in Table 1.2.2
for all locations. The entries whose seed yields were in bold and underlined were superior to
the best check, while the entries with seed yields in bold were on par with the best check at
respective locations.
A total of 23 promising entries -Nandyal (1), Bijapur (3), Sehore (15), New Delhi (2) and
Ludhiana (2) with significantly superior performance in terms of seed yield compared to the
best check at respective locations were identified. These promising entries will be included in
MHT-1 next year to confirm their suitability to mechanical harvesting.

Activity 1.3: Evaluate tall and upright breeding lines for grain yield in station trials
MHT-3: This is a station trial in which each participating center evaluated new progenies
developed at the center. The number of entries was variable. Each plot consisted of a single
row of 4 m and with 2-3 replications. This trial was conducted at all seven locations. The
performance of selected promising entries is given in Table 1.3.1. The entries whose seed
yield is in bold and underlined were significantly superior compared to the best check in
respective locations.
In total, 27 entries (14 in Patancheru, 4 in Nandyal, 2 in Bijapur, 4 in Sehore and 3 in New
Delhi) were found to be significantly superior in seed yield along with two other important
traits (first pod height >25 cm and angle of outer most primary branch >60 degrees). The
selected promising lines will be included in MHT-2 next year.

Activity 1.4: Targeted breeding for development of cultivars suited to mechanical
harvesting.
Targeted breeding for developing tall and upright breeding lines was initiated at each center.
Donors were supplied by ICRISAT and IIPR. Each center made crosses (kabuli x kabuli and
desi x desi, separately) for improving selected cultivars for plant height and growth habit.
This activity was carried out by all participating centers.
1.4.1 Development of new crosses: A total of 39 new crosses (Table 1.4.1) were made
during 2015-16 by the participating centers – ICRISAT-Patancheru (16), IIPR-Kanpur (4),
IARI-New Delhi (4), PAU-Ludhiana (3), RAKCA-Sehore (10) and UAS-Dharwad (2).

Activity 1.5: Agronomic trials on genotypes suitable for mechanical harvesting
An agronomic trial was conducted on seed rate and spacing at five locations (Nandyal and
Bijapur in southern India; Sehore in central India; and Kanpur and Ludhiana in northern
India). The design followed was split-plot with four replications.
Genotypes: GBM 2 and NBeG 47 for southern and central Indian locations

The response of the genotypes to seed rate and spacing is given in Table 1.5.1. Among the
four, 22.5 x 10 cm spacing recorded highest yields in four locations with at least one
genotype. It appears to be the ideal spacing and plant density to achieve higher yields from
the same area.

Objective 2: Modify/adjust combine harvesters to customize for chickpea harvesting
Activity 2.1: Evaluate the available commercial harvesting machines and make required
modifications/adjustments to customize for chickpea harvesting
Required adjustments/ modifications were made in the harvesting machines and testing was
performed in the field with selected lines. This activity was carried out by the Department of
Farm Machinery and Power Engineering, PAU-Ludhiana.
In the third year, two chickpea varieties - PBG-5 and PBG-7 were sown with the help of
inclined plate planter (Fig 2.1.1) on an area of 0.8 ha at Research Farm of Department of
Farm Machinery and Power Engineering, PAU, Ludhiana. The seed rate was 60 kg/ ha. The
crop was planted at row-to-row spacing of 30 cm, plant to plant spacing of 10-13 cm and at
depth of 8-10 cm.
44
Fig. 2.1.1: Sowing of chickpea
The crop was raised by following recommended package of practices for chickpea to raise a
healthy crop. The harvesting of chickpea was done by two combines viz. tangential axial flow
(CLAAS CT-30) and conventional (STANDARD S-390) with two types of threshing unit
viz. Type I and Type II of each combine to assess the feasibility and effect of different
machine parameters on chickpea quality and losses during combine harvesting. The effect of
cylinder speeds and forward speed on performance of tangential axial flow (CLAAS CT-30)
as shown in Fig. 2.1.2a and conventional (STANDARD S 390) combine harvester as shown
in Fig. 2.1.2b were studied on two different varieties of chickpea crop. The details of levels of
independent parameters are given in Table 2.1.1.

The effect of three selected independent parameters on threshing efficiency, cleaning
efficiency, grain damage, rake and shoe loss, cylinder loss, shattering losses and total
processing losses were studied. A tachometer was used for recording cylinder speed. A
stopwatch was used to calculate the forward speed of the combine. An oven was used to dry
the samples of crop to determine the moisture content of crop and grain. The grain collected
for determining losses were weighed on weighing balance. The plant height measured from
ground surface to the main tip of plant (Fig. 2.1.3a) and first pods height was measured from
ground surface to first pod (Fig.2.1.3b).

To collect the samples of yield, shattering loss (Fig. 2.1.4) and pre-harvest loses from the
field a frame of 1 x 1 square meters was used.

The details of crop parameters are given in Table 2.1.2. Rack and shoe losses were collected
with the help of 10 m long and 1.5 m wide cloth that was rolled from the outlets of combine –
one from the side of the combine and other from the rear part of the tangential axial flow
(CLAAS CT-30) combine. In case of conventional (STANDARD S 390) combine the
samples were collected from rear of combine as shown in Fig. 2.1.5 & 2.1.6.

Machine parameters:
Tangential axial flow combine with Type-I and Type-II threshing unit: Machine parameters
were forward speed and cylinder peripheral speed whereas, crop parameter was crop variety.
The effect of two levels of cylinder peripheral speeds viz. P1 (14.83 m/ s) & P2 (23.85 m/ s),
two levels of forward speed viz. F1 (1.5 km/ h) & F2 (2.0 km/ h) and four levels of concave
clearance viz. C1 (9E, 4A), C2 (10E, 5A), C3 (18E, 8A) & C4 (25E, 12A) was studied. In
case of Type –II threshing unit the effect of two levels of cylinder peripheral speeds viz. P1
(11.77 m/ s) & P2 (14.83 m/ s), two levels of forward speed viz. F1 (1.5 km/ h) & F2 (2.0
km/ h) and three levels of concave clearance viz. C1 (9E, 4A), C2 (13E, 6A), & C3 (25E,
12A) was studied.
Conventional combine with Type-I and Type-II threshing unit: Combine was operated at two
levels of cylinder peripheral speeds viz. P1 (17.08 m/ s & P2 (21.43 m/ s), two levels of
forward speed viz. F1 (1.5 km/ h) & F2 (2.0 km/ h) and three levels of concave clearance viz.
C1 (0 mm), C2 (22 mm) and C3 (35 mm).
The results of the both combine harvesters are given in Table 2.1.3. Threshing efficiency and
cleaning efficiency were similar with both the machines. When it comes to total losses, the
tangential axial flow (CLASS CT-30) recorded less losses (5.26-13.40) compared to the
conventional STANDARD S-390 (11.63-15.82).

Objective 3: Develop chickpea cultivars tolerant to herbicides
Activity 3.1: Multilocation evaluation of putative herbicide tolerant lines selected in year 1
Herbicide Tolerance Screening Trial - 1 (HTS-1): This trial consisted of 22 herbicide
tolerant lines selected from HTS-1 and HTS-2 of 2014-15. These lines were evaluated in at
least 3 replications and there was untreated control for comparison of yield. The herbicides
Imazethapyr and Carfentrazone ethyl (at Sehore) were used. This trial was conducted at all 7
participating centers. Due to herbicide spray, the maturity got delayed up to 23 days
maximum, while two entries ICCV 10 and ICCIL 04004 exhibited no effect on maturity.
The list of top-five entries with high seed yield identified along with visual scores is given in
Table 3.1.1. These entries had less reduction in seed yield among the 22 entries evaluated.
Some of the entries were found to be common such as ICCV 04307 (Patancheru, Bijapur,
New Delhi and Ludhiana), ICCIL 01034 (Nandyal, New Delhi, Kanpur and Ludhiana),
NBeG 510 (Nandyal, Bijapur and New Delhi), ICCV 08102 (Nandyal, Sehore and Kanpur),

IIPR-Kanpur: Among the 22 lines evaluated, five entries (ICCV 08109, ICCIL 04021, ICCV
08102, ICCIL 01026 and ICCIL 01034) were identified as promising. These entries will be
included in the crossing programs to develop varieties with herbicide tolerance.
Herbicide Tolerance Screening Trial – 2 (HTS-2): This trial consisted of 100 herbicide
tolerant lines selected from station trials (HTS-3) conducted in year 1. This trial was
conducted at six participating centers with 3 replications and each plot had a single row of 2
m. Data on sprayed and control experiments was available for only two locations (Patancheru
and Ludhiana).
Visual score along with superior yield was taken as the criteria to select promising entries.
Several promising entries were identified in HTS-2 but only top-10 entries per location are
given in Table 3.1.2. Among these top-60, 18 entries (GL 29078, ICCs 11508, 11514, 12237,
12315, 12316, 12333, 12346, 12507, 4963, 6098, 9032, ICCVs 03112, 11116, 97025, 97114,

Activity 3.2: Screen a new set of genotypes (germplasm/ cultivars/breeding lines) for
herbicide tolerance in station trials.
Herbicide Tolerance Screening Trial -3 (HTS-3): This was a station trial for herbicide
tolerance screening of new germplasm/breeding lines available at each center. The number of
entries varied from center to center. This trial had 3 replications and each plot had a single
row of 2 m. This trial was conducted at all 7 participating centers.
The performance of top-ten entries across six locations is given in Table 3.2.1. These 45
entries (10 each at Patancheru, Sehore and Ludhiana and five each at Nandyal, Bijapur and
New Delhi) were selected based on seed yield and visual score. These entries can be included
in HTS-2 next year.

Screen TILLING populations for herbicide tolerance:
At IARI-New Delhi the TILLING population of ICC 4958 was screened for tolerance to
herbicide Imazethapyr. Probable tolerant plants (100) were selected during crop season 2013-
2014. Single plant progenies were grown in 2014-15 and again sprayed with herbicide
Imazethapyr on 20/01/2015. None of the progenies survived and those which survived did not
set seed at maturity. Hence, no herbicide tolerant plants could be isolated from the TILLING
population of ICC 4958.
Activity 3.4: Targeted breeding for developing herbicide tolerant breeding lines
Targeted breeding for developing herbicide-tolerant breeding lines was initiated at each
center. Each center made crosses (kabuli x kabuli and desi x desi, separately) for improving
selected cultivars for herbicide tolerance. During 2015-16, 32 new crosses (ICRISAT – 9,
IIPR – 2, IARI – 4, PAU – 1, RARS – 15 and UASD – 1) were made by all participating
centers (Tables 3.4.1).

Activity 3.5: Agronomic trial on weed management by herbicides
Location specific trials were conducted on combination of herbicides and type of weeds they
controlled. This activity was conducted at IIPR-Kanpur and PAU-Ludhiana in north India;
Sehore in central India; and RARS-Nandyal and UAS-Dharwad in south India.
Herbicide treatments: Imazethapyr@ 50 g & 75 g per ha
Carfentrazone-ethyl @ 20 & 30 g per ha
Hand weeding
Weedy check
Genotypes: South India: NBeG 47 at Nandyal; JG 11 at Bijapur
Central India: ICCV 10
North India: Ujjawal, JG 16, Shubhra at Kanpur and PBG 7 at Ludhiana
Design: RBD; four replications; three rows of 4 m row length
The performance of herbicides –Imazethapyr (@50 and 75 g/ha) and Carfentrazone ethyl (@
20 and 30 g/ha) is given in Table 3.5.1. The results indicate that Carfentrazone ethyl @ 20
g/ha is effective in achieving higher yields at four locations (Nandyal, Bijapur, Sehore and
Ludhiana). At Kanpur location, plant mortality was observed to be high with Carfentrazone
ethyl @ 30 g/ha while controlling the weeds effectively at the same time. JG 16 appeared to
be the most sensitive among the three genotypes for herbicide spray, especially to
Carfentrazone ethyl @ 30 g/ha.

IIPR-Kanpur: Among the two herbicides, Carfentrazone ethyl @ 30g/ha resulted in high
weed control efficiency besides high plant mortality. Imazethapyr @ 75 g/ha had less plant
mortality but equally effective in weed control with Carfentrazone ethyl @ 30 g/ha.
