    Abstract

    Seed protein was estimated in several genotypes of chickpea grown at different locations in India in different years. Statistical analysis showed that location had the greatest influence on protein content. The effects due to cultivar although significant were of low magnitude. Cultivars X location interactions were nonsignificant and there were good correlations among locations suggesting that breeding for improved seed protein content in chickpea could be effectively carried out at a single location.
