OAR@ICRISATPotential for Expansion of Chickpea in the Barind Region of BangladeshJKumarauthorMRahmanauthorM AMusaauthorSIslamauthorPulses are important both as components of human diet and as part of the rainfed agriculture cropping system of Bangladesh. The present diet availability of only 12 g per capita per day is rather low. The area under pulses is declining with the expansion of irrigated facilities that encourage the cuI tivation of such crops as rice and wheat. Chickpea is presently the third most important pulse crop in Bangladesh. Currently most of the chickpea areas are confined to five districts; Faridpur, Jessore, Kustia, Pabna, ana Rajshahi (Khaleque et a1. 1991). The crop is usually cu1tivated on the clay-loam or clay soils of the Gangetic calcarious flood plain areas.Chickpea1994International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, Andhra Pradesh, IndiaArticle
