Abstract

Eight desi and 7 kabuli type chickpea cultivars grown at the ICRISAT Center (17’ N) and at Hissar (29’ N) were analyzed for phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, and manganese. Whole seed, dhal (decorticated split cotyledons), and seed coat were analyzed. Except for calcium, zinc, and manganese, the mean values of other mineral elements of desi and kabuli whole seed and dhal samples from both the locations showed no significant differences. Seed coats of kabuli cultivars contained significantly more calcium, zinc, copper, iron, and manganese when grown at both locations and significantly more potassium and phosphorus only when grown at Hissar.
