Subject Chickpea
 
Description Sudan is not a major chickpea-producing country, but in some areas such as Wad Hamed and Rubalab in the northern region along the river Nile it is an important crop (Fig. 1). The local variety is a small-seeded kabuli. 100-seed mass of about 15 g. Only recently, a somewhat larger-seeded variety called Shendi (NEC 2491) has been released. It has a 100-seed mass of about 20 g. The FAO Production Year Book of 1987 shows the chickpea-growing area in Sudan at 2000 ha, and the mean yield at 1045 kg ha-'. Usually the crop is sown in November-December, the middle of November being considered optimal.
