Importance of chickpeas and pigeonpeas in the human diet Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L) are the fourth largest grain legume crop in the world, with a total production of 9.2 million tons from an area of 11.2 million ha and a productivity of 0.82t ha1 (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), 2005). Large variations in chickpea yield are reported, ranging from 0.35t ha1 in Iran to 1.6t ha1 in Mexico. Chickpea productivity records in the last four decades reveal an interesting trend: productivity consistently increased in India and Mexico while it declined in Turkey, Pakistan and Iran...
