Chickpeas require well-drained soils and are drought-tolerant, making them suitable for the region. Desi and kabuli varieties, like CDC Orion and CDC Leader, are commonly grown in Alberta and can withstand dry conditions.
Lentils are well-adapted to dryland farming due to their deep-rooting system. Red and green lentil varieties, such as CDC Maxim and CDC Red berry, perform well in Alberta’s semi-arid climate.
