- Intervention effect Chickpea yield was reduced by 11.79% to 24.77% under moisture stress.
- Association Mean yield under stress showed a strong positive association with the yield index.
- Association Mean yield under stress showed a strong positive association with the stress tolerance index.
- Association Yield was associated with photosynthetic rate (0.363**).
- Association Yield was associated with stomatal conductance (0.364**).
- Association Yield was associated with transpiration rate (0.292*).
- Observation Three chickpea genotypes showed maximum potential for grain yield and biological yield under moisture stress.
- Intervention effect The three higher-yielding genotypes maintained biological yield under moisture stress.
- Intervention effect The three higher-yielding genotypes maintained 100 seed weight and photosynthesis rate under moisture stress.
- Intervention effect The higher-yielding genotypes showed reduced stomatal conductance and transpiration under moisture stress.
- Recommendation Superior chickpea genotypes can be used in future breeding programs for drought tolerance.
