Abstract
In June 1991 when we visited Uzbekistan it was part of USSR. It is now a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Uzbekistan is situated in Central Asia between latitudes 41' and 43*N and between longitudes 60 and 70* E at a mean altitude of 450 m. The average rainfall is 350 mm. Tl»e most important crops are cotton, wheat, and corn. Sheep breeding and silk rearing are two odicr important agriculture-related activities. Chickpea has been grown as a drought-resistant and high protein crop since ancient times and currently over 10 000 ha are cultivated. Sowing is done in March-April and depending on rainfall the crop is harvested in June-July.
