Abstract

Chickpea research program has come across realizing the importance of restructuring the working germplasm pool in Ethiopia where we have 39 divergent agroecological zones (AEZ). Though chickpea is not suit to all, it adapts in more than 30% of the agroecologies having different scale of responses. Hence, as show case we have tried to scan the agroecologies discrimination power based on crop using three sets of bred-crop responses. Evidently enough, germplasms in all the sets have revealed differential responses for economical yield and associated traits, from the three set of 57 entries put under 47 environments. The AMMI stability value and stability index have been able to discriminate genotypes with designated position; and supposed the breeding program would signify values by attempting both environment and genetics still as key considerable factors.
