| Description |
Wild, perennial Cicer spp. were grown with varying success. Cicer judaicum and Cicer cuneatum were grown easily, whereas Cicer bijugum, Cicer pinnatifidum, Cicer reticulatum and Cicer chorassanicum posed some problems. Cicer yamashitae and Cicer echinospermum have to be very carefully nurtured. Thus far only C. reticulatum has produced fertile hybrids with Cicer arietum as the female parent. Other crosses failed, or the seeds obtained produced sterile offspring. Better results can be expected under controlled environments. Several hints are given to improve production of wild Cicer spp. Crossing seems to present formidable barriers, however
