Chickpea is the premier pulse crop of India, grown all over the country in Rabi season. It is a good source of essential amino acids and is the primary source of high quality protein for the largely vegetarian population of India. India is the major chick pea growing country of the world, accounting for almost 70 percent of the total world production.
Being primarily cultivated as a rainfed crop mainly by resource poor farmers , Chick Pea has to endure a variety of abiotic stresses across its life cycle. In addition to different abiotic stresses, a number of insects and diseases also inflicts damage to the crop greatly impacting its overall yield.
The market value of gram is greatly influenced by its quality and hence a steady and sufficient supply of all the essential nutrients is of critical importance. JU has in its product portfolio a wide range of nutrients and plant biostimulants which ensures excellent plant health and greatly improves fruit quality and overall yield.
