Early Maturity Chickpeas - Reducing Chemicals & Supporting Growers! ?? Why are Early Maturity Chickpeas important? Chickpea plants, like other legume and grain crops, need to dry-down before they can be harvested. Today commodity chickpeas typically have a 110-130 day growing cycle, putting them at risk of yield loss when spring frosts push back planting dates or early fall rains delay harvest. In regions where chemical drying agents (desiccants) are allowed, growers may opt for chemicals like glyphosate to “finish them off” in the field and ensure the crop can be harvested. This is why NuCicer’s early maturity chickpeas with a 10-20 day shorter cycle are such a game-changer! ?? Benefits of NuCicer’s Early Maturing Varieties: 1. Risk Mitigation: With a shorter growing season, growers can better navigate adverse weather conditions and other unpredictable factors without risking yield. 2. Expanded Growing Region: ?Shorter season varieties can be grown in slightly cooler and shorter summer regions, creating new opportunities for rotational cropping systems. 3. Resource Management: ?Reducing the need for chemical desiccants lowers costs and saves time for growers.? Environmental Impact: Preventing the need for chemical applications supports a sustainable ag system - lowering the carbon footprint and reducing impact on local biodiversity and water systems. ?? Looking Ahead: In an ever changing climate, reducing variables for a smooth harvest can be a game changer. Not only are we unlocking better nutrition and flavor, we are continuing to improve chickpeas for growers and the global food system. Join us in making chickpea a primary staple crop to support a sustainable food system! ???? #NuCicer #Chickpeasevolved #Agriculture #Farmers #Innovation #Sustainability #CropManagement #Chickpeas #Glyphosate #SustainableAg
