Description Chickpea is grown in a wide range of agroclimatic environments (Sinha
1977)* and their yield potential exceeds 4 t ha-1 (Nene 1986). However*
the yields achieved by farmers are quite low and variable.
Based on chickpea production data (FAO 1982)ยป there are 37 chickpea
growing countries. The total chickpea production in the world for 1982
was 6.2 million t. India produced 74% of the world production.
Chickpea is usually grown after the rainy season on stored soil
moisture* during winter in the .tropics and in the spring in temperate
and mediterranean regions. Chickpea has been recently grown in
temperate and mediterranean regions as a winter crop when rainfall was
well distributed during the growing period (Saxena 1984).
