Germplasm Program Legumes Annual Report 1996
This report summarizes the key accomplishments and efforts of the Germplasm Program Legumes at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) in 1996.
Sources of resistance to cyst nematode in cultivated and wild Cicer species
Among the nematodes infesting chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants in Syria, cyst nematode (Heterodera ciceri Vovlas, Greco et Di Vito) is the most important. It is uneconomical to grow chickpea in fields infested with ...
Useful genetic diversity in germplasm collections of food and forage legumes from West Asia and North Africa
The germplasm collections at ICARDA of faba bean, chickpea, lentil and forage legumes have been exploited by breeding programmes in the West Asia and North Africa region for production of improved cultivars. The first lines ...
Seed Unit Annual Report 1996

Registration of FLIP 87‐59C, a Drought‐Tolerant Chickpea Germplasm Line
Evaluation of world collection of kabuli chickpea for resistance to iron-deficiency chlorosis
Iron-deficiency chlorosis is often seen in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) fields in the Mediterranean region and is particularly severe in fields where iron-deficiency susceptible cultivars are sown. Therefore, ICARDA's ...

Improving chickpea yield by incorporating resistance to ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight [Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab.] is the most destructive disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), but it can be managed effectively by the use of resistant cultivars. Therefore, a breeding programme was ...
ICARDA Annual Report 1995
Achieving sustainable increases in agricultural productivity in the dry areas is a real challenge.
Rainfall in these areas is, by definition, low and variable. Conventional water resources are
limited, and the share available ...
