Agronomical characteristics the breeding germplasm of chickpea [Articol]

Abstract

Investigation material comprised twenty(F5) and eight ten (F3) breeding germplasm of chickpea derived from 2 crosses ♀Alexandrite×♂Ichel and ♀Botna×♂Ichel respectively, as check was v. Botna. The objective of the study was evaluation and selection germplasm by yield and analysis 5 yield attributing characters: number seeds and seeds yield per plant, hundred seeds weight, plant height and full maturity. Method of breeding is "pedigree". By productivity were selected 10(F4) and 12(F5) progenies, of them B121, B144, B126, B130, B137, B143, B147 and A170, A181, A190 were evaluated as high yielded (116.1 – 124.2g/m2), which superior the check v. Botna (106.5g/m2). Analysis of traits revealed that no. of seeds and seeds yield per plant are principal in yield enhancing. Larger seeds germplasm coupled with taller plant for most progenies increases yield per plant. Most high yielded germplasm is middle-maturity. Strong relationship exhibited trait seeds yield per plant with plant height (r=0.855), hundred seeds weight (r=0.881) and with no. seeds per plant (r=0.891) in F4 and F6 generation, respectively.
