Screening of some chickpea genotypes for high yield

Abstract

Field experiment was carried out in Tekret Research Station/ Ministry Of Science and Technology in 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons to screen and select 13 chickpea genotypes. The results showed that genotype 71759 was superior in early flowering (119.33 and 94) days, early mature (169.67 and 132) days in both seasons respectively. Genotype 131985 was superior in number of seeds per plant (120, 110) seeds, plant yield (24.63, 23) gm and seed yield (3903.5, 3681.9) Kg/ha for both seasons respectively.
