Description This book is a result of a workshop held at ICARDA, Aleppo, Syria in
Nov 1992, organized jointly by ICARDA and ICRISAT, in which
researchers from 11 important chickpea-growing countries in West Asia
and North Africa (WANA) participated. The book outlines the
mandates of ICARDA in the WANA region, and ICRISAT in the semiarid
tropics (SAT) as they relate to chickpea improvement.
The current status of chickpea production, and constraints and opportunities in
WANA countries are discussed using maps developed on a geographic
information system. Regional overviews summarize current knowledge
on chickpea in West Asia, North Africa, and the Nile Valley countries,
and overviews of biotic, abiotic. and socioeconomic constraints
integrate this information Hcross WANA and SAT. The final chapter is
an overall synthesis, with suggested priorities and future areas of
research to enhance and stabilize chickpea yield.
