Evaluation of Some Chickpea (Cicer aArietinum L.) Varieties and Lines In Cukurova Region Regarding Yield and Some Plant Characteristics

Abstract

Food legumes dry seeds are one of the main protein sources for humans and animals because of the high protein, vitamin and mineral levels they have. This study was conducted under seasonal conditions of Cukurova region with local materials and the materials from ICARDA. This research was made as winter sowing by 20 lines at Dogankent, where East Mediterean Agricultural Research Institute is located and selections and evaluations are conducted for winter sowing. In 2011 – 2012 season plantations as a part of this study highest yield was obtained from FLIP 05-54C line with 205.03 kg/da and lowest yield was from a local variety with 20.55 kg/da. 100 seed weight varied in between 46.89 and 20.66 gr., flowering days varied in between 61and 78 days and plant height varied in between 66.77 and 53.44cm the year study was conducted. However, Ascochyta Blight (Ascochyta rabiei (pass.)Labr.) appears as a significant problem especially at rainy and mild winters during growing of winter varieties
