Ayyar and Balasubramanyan (1935) and Eshel (1968) reported about various aspects of anthesis and pollination in this species. The best stage in floral development for crossing appeared to be the hooded-bud stage. Pollen from half open flowers, in which anthers had just burst, gave the best results for artificial hybridization (Eshel, 1968). This study was undertaken to investigate the causes of lower pod setting and to find out ways to improve setting in artificial hybridization. Effect of (a) removal of stamens after opening the keel petals (b) attempting crosses at two different stages, one at early bloom and other after formation of first pod on the selected branches (c) pollinating varieties having flower buds of different sizes, and (d) application of NAA to flower buds, on pod setting was studied</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Chickpea</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">1975</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Indian Society of Genetics and Plant Breeding</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mets:xmlData></mets:mdWrap></mets:dmdSec><mets:amdSec ID="TMD_eprint_8268"><mets:rightsMD ID="rights_eprint_8268_mods"><mets:mdWrap MDTYPE="MODS"><mets:xmlData><mods:useAndReproduction>
