- [00:00:02.491]Extension Dry Bean Breeder Carlos Urrea
- [00:00:05.285]and his crew out in a Mitchell plot
- [00:00:07.308]planting chickpeas.
- [00:00:08.903]We are planting out chickpea variety trial
- [00:00:12.746]that we have 18 varieties. It’s going to
- [00:00:16.007]be a replicated trial, besides the
- [00:00:17.823]planting the variety trial we have
- [00:00:22.015]some separated populations we’re going
- [00:00:26.560]to be looking for ascochyta blight
- [00:00:30.694]resistance. Hopefully, we’ll be able to make
- [00:00:33.399]a selection on this very limiting disease,
- [00:00:40.749]very endemic disease.
- [00:00:42.626]While Nebraska Extension Research
- [00:00:44.746]Technician Cody Kaarstad and
- [00:00:46.297]Farm Manager Gene Kizzire set the
- [00:00:48.480]equipment up on the tractor for straight
- [00:00:50.986]rows. Urrea explained more on the
- [00:00:52.593]pink-colored seeds they were planting .
- [00:00:54.926]We are adding some inoculant, this
- [00:00:56.926]is for helping the garbanzos to fix
- [00:01:04.726]nitrogen from the atmosphere to the
- [00:01:07.536]ground. That’s the thing we are doing
- [00:01:10.768]right now, anyway, and before adding the
- [00:01:13.855]inoculant we did three treatments
- [00:01:15.221]for root rot diseases.
- [00:01:17.913]Urrea and his crew planted the one-acre
- [00:01:20.373]plot of 18 chickpea varieties in a little
- [00:01:22.856]over three hours with help from Assistant
- [00:01:25.394]Ann Kohler feeding the chickpeas into the
- [00:01:27.855]planting basket. In the Fall after harvest the
- [00:01:30.915]results from the variety trials will be
- [00:01:33.691]published on the UNL Cropwatch page.
- [00:01:35.697]With the UNL Panhandle Research Extension
