12. CAZRI Moth Bean Varieties Withstand 35-Day Dry Spell
Scientists at the ICAR-Central Arid Zone Research Institute (CAZRI), Jodhpur highlighted the remarkable climate resilience of newly developed moth bean varieties.
Four varieties developed in recent years are:

It is cultivated over nearly 10 lakh hectares, but productivity is often constrained by:
Erratic rainfall
Low rainfall
High temperatures
Prolonged drought
Limited soil moisture
Annual/seasonal rainfall in the relevant growing regions can be only around 150–250 mm.
These climate-resilient varieties are therefore important for food and livelihood security in arid areas.
