Evaluation of Morphological, Quality and Yield Characteristics of Some Registered Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Varieties in The Eastern-Mediterranean Region

Abstract

This research was conducted to evaluate regional adaptation of registered chickpea varieties, their yield and some yield related characteristics observed at trial fields under winter growth conditions in Eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey in Adana location during 2014 and 2015. Trials were conducted in fields of Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute. In this study, 17 registered varieties and 3 control varieties in total 20 varieties were tested in trials. During this study, the varieties were evaluated in Adana location for their fitness to winter growth conditions. The highest and the lowest yield resulted in 2014 for Adana location were 3.94 t/ha and 1.76 t/ha for Trial, and respectively. In 2015, the highest and the lowest yield resulted for Adana location were 5.08 t/ha and 0.17 t/ha for Trial, respectively. In terms of quality values for both growing seasons of 2014 and 2015, the average protein analysis values of the Trial were 21.90% for the Hasanbey variety as the highest and 10.26% for the Hisar variety as the lowest values.
