Abstract

Chickpea is grown in a wide range of agroclimatic environments (Sinha 1977)* and their yield potential exceeds 4 t ha-1 (Nene 1986). However* the yields achieved by farmers are quite low and variable. Based on chickpea production data (FAO 1982)» there are 37 chickpea growing countries. The total chickpea production in the world for 1982 was 6.2 million t. India produced 74% of the world production. Chickpea is usually grown after the rainy season on stored soil moisture* during winter in the .tropics and in the spring in temperate and mediterranean regions. Chickpea has been recently grown in temperate and mediterranean regions as a winter crop when rainfall was well distributed during the growing period (Saxena 1984).
