Abstract: |
Chickpea occupies fifth position in area (14590 ha) and production (12148 t) of total grain legumes and it is imported from the foreign countries in Nepal . Low grain yield, susceptibility to wilt, botrytis gray mold (BGM) and pod borer are the serious problems of growing chickpea. There is an urgent need to develop high yielding genotypes that are resistant to wilt and BGM and are well adapted to environments. Seed size of local land races is very small while exotic lines yielded poor. Presently some of the genotypes have been developed from the crosses and evaluated in coordinated varietal trials and coordinated farmers field trials at different locations from 1997/98 to 2001/02…….. |
