		Western Australia could miss out on a $400 per hectare crop, while the north eastern and central grainbelt could go without a legume rotation if chickpea breeding is centralised.
		According to University of Western Australia researcher, Jens Berger, chickpea varieties bred for more benign, long growing seasons, such as at Tamworth, New South Wales, could be limited to under 0.5 tonne per hectare yields in low rainfall environments such as at Merredin, Western Australia.
		Centralising chickpea breeding in eastern Australia defied this logic, according to CLIMA Director, Kadambot Siddique.
