The students were excited and engaged, learning how to take data of these traits. It was a great opportunity for them to see the science in action, and I'm sure it will stay with them for a long time. I'm proud of my students for their enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Last couple of days were incredible for my students and me!
I took my Plant breeding and Genetics class to the Desi chickpea field where we observed the various differences in qualitative and quantitative traits among diverse chickpea genotypes at the flowering stage.

@IPGAPulses@pakcommodities1 , the pulses business community in Pakistan should also organize such events in Pakistan in collaboration with pulses scientists and growers.
