About CBA Captain PBR

At Chickpea Breeding Australia, we aim to expand the geographic reach of chickpea crops throughout Australia. The $30 million investment by NSW DPIRD and GRDC is dedicated to creating Desi and Kabuli chickpea varieties that perform well in new growing regions and established areas. Our new variety, CBA Captain PBR , achieves this goal.

CBA Captain PBR is an erect Desi chickpea variety, which was released in 2020. It has good plant height, good height to lowest pod and good lodging resistance resulting in exceptional harvestability. It has broad adaption to chickpea growing regions across the country. CBA Captain PBR has a yellow- brown seed coat and angular seed shape.
