Title The Impact of Winter-Sown Chickpeas on Insect Pests and their Management
 
Creator Sithanantham, S

Subject Chickpea
 
Description Recent research has shown that in and around Syria, winter-sown chickpea
substantially outyields the spring-sown crops. It is expected that there will be a
substantial adoption of this practice in farmers' fields in the near future.
Any substantial change in the sowing date of a crop that is already well
established in a traditional cropping system can bring about some changes in pest
incidence, not only on that crop but alsoon other crops in the system. Although it
is probable that winter.sown chickpea will suffer no greatcr pest attack than the
spring-sown, it is possible that the introduction of a winter-sown crop might
provide an earlier buildup of pests that will then disperse lo subsequent $pringsown
crops including chickpea. Alternatively, a relatively unimporlant insect
might become important either on the winter or succeeding crop, and so cause
problems for the farmers.
