N2  - Pulses 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.
