PRODUCTIVITY OF LOCAL AND INTRODUCED CHICKPEA (CICER ARIETINUM L.) GENOTYPES, BIOCHEMICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ANALYSES

Abstract

The quality, productivity, and technological indicators of chickpea genotypes introduced from ICARDA were studied for three years. Based on the obtained results, statistical analysis and comparative evaluation were conducted. These results are of great importance for the breeding program. According to observations, the vegetation period in the first, second, and third years was 185-198, 220-225, and 210-217 days, respectively. The flowering phase was 156-163 days in both the first and second years, and 155-166 days in the third year. The pod formation phase was 174-180 days in the first year, 172-180 days in the second year, and 168-185 days in the third year and superior results were observed compared to other years. Flip11-198c (80cm) was rated as the tallest genotype and Flip11-12c (43cm) as the shortest genotype. The maximum mass of 100 seeds was recorded in the sample Flip10-332c (24.8g), and the minimum in the sample Flip13-240c (4.1g).
