Disease Resistance in Chickpea
Chickpea is a grain legume with valuable nutritional characteristics. It is a basic aliment in Asian countries such as India and Pakistan as well as a traditional ingredient in Mediterranean diets. Biotic stresses such as ...
Identifying Genetic Linkage Groups and Markers for Leaf Miner Resistance in Chickpea through QTL Analysis and Field Validation
Chickpea is a commonly grown crop, but it is vulnerable to biotic and abiotic stresses. Leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina) is a pest that can cause severe yield losses of up to 40% if not properly controlled. This study was ...
Identification of New Genetic Resources Under Drought Stress in Response to Roots and Nodules in chickpea
Ten high nodulation and two poor nodulation chickpea genotypes were selected from the previous field experiment to study the effect of drought stress on various nodules, root characteristics, and physiological traits of ...

Screening chickpea genotypes with rhizobium strains under various management interactions
The results study conducted at India indicated that seed inoculants with Rhizobium + PSB + Mo was found best among other inoculants in respect to productivity and profitability. Variety PKV 4 produced higher values of ...
Variety adoption and seed commercial behavior: Implications for the chickpea seed system in Ethiopia
This Working Paper presents the yield gaps, adoption of improved varieties, and commercial behavior relating to seed by smallholder chickpea producers. It is based on primary data generated in 2017 from 612 randomly selected ...
