Abstract
Although chickpea is not traditionally a prominent pulse crop in areas with a hot and dry climate, this region contributes more than 70% of the total chickpea production in India, and has enormous potential for further expansion. The hot and dry climate poses major production-limiting biotic constraints like wilt, root rots among major diseases; and pod borer and leaf miner among insects (Ali et al. 1997). Although the biotic and abiotic constraints have remained unchanged over the years, chickpea area in the nontraditional region has increased substantially since 1990. This raises questions on its sources of area expansion, and reasons thereof...
