Kabuli

But they are physically no match for the Kabulis and every Kabuli considers himself more than a match for any number of travellers from the plains.

The availability of a large number of resistant lines in desi and kabuli background should help breeders develop resistant and high-yielding cultivars. It was earlier believed that kabulis lack resistant genes to ascochyta blight but screening a large collection revealed many lines having a high level of resistance.

Two distinct chickpea types, different in their morphology and used in different ways of processing have been described: desi and kabuli.
