Performance and Impact of JG-11, an improved desi type chickpea variety was studied under rainfed conditions in Andhra Pradesh for three years i.e.2004–05 to 2006–07. The JG-11 variety which is semi spreading, bold seeded (22g/100 seeds), matures in 95–100 days and resistant to wilt and root rot was compared with existing Annegiri variety. The variety JG-11, on an average gave 23.9 per cent higher yield and net returns of Rs.31986 (ha−1) compared to Annegiri. Due to high yield potential and other characteristics, the variety was replaced to an extent of 66 per cent in the adjacent villages.
