note: The book 'Adaptation of chickpea in the West Asia and North Africa region' is the result of a collaborative
project that brought together scientists from ICRISAT, ICARDA, and 11 important chickpea-growing countries in
the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region. The aim of the project was to analyze constraints to chickpea
production in WANA and other regions, identify common problems, and discuss possible solutions in order to
achieve sustainable increases in chickpea productivity. The project helped to evolve an effective synthesis of
research challenges and opportunities through a closer integration of regional and global activities.
abstract: This book is a result of a workshop held at ICARDA, Aleppo, Syria in
Nov 1992, organized jointly by ICARDA and ICRISAT, in which
researchers from 11 important chickpea-growing countries in West Asia
and North Africa (WANA) participated. The book outlines the
mandates of ICARDA in the WANA region, and ICRISAT in the semiarid
tropics (SAT) as they relate to chickpea improvement.
The current status of chickpea production, and constraints and opportunities in
WANA countries are discussed using maps developed on a geographic
information system. Regional overviews summarize current knowledge
on chickpea in West Asia, North Africa, and the Nile Valley countries,
and overviews of biotic, abiotic. and socioeconomic constraints
integrate this information Hcross WANA and SAT. The final chapter is
an overall synthesis, with suggested priorities and future areas of
research to enhance and stabilize chickpea yield.
