Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Genotypes differed significantly in plant height, number of foliage and number of primary branches.
- Observation Genotypes differed significantly in growth rate and fresh biomass weight.
- Observation 31 (43.1%) genotypes scored above 0.8 on plant survival rate.
- Observation 37 (51.4%) genotypes were rated 1 to 3 for freezing tolerance rate in freezing test 1.
- Observation 31 (43.1%) genotypes were rated 1 to 3 for freezing tolerance rate in freezing test 2.
- Association Fresh biomass yield was strongly negatively correlated with plant survival rate in freezing test 1.
- Association Fresh biomass yield was strongly negatively correlated with plant survival rate in freezing test 2.
- Association Fresh biomass yield was strongly positively correlated with the freezing tolerance rate value.
- Recommendation Ethiopian chickpea germplasm has genetic potential for frost-tolerance traits for use in breeding programs.
