- Observation Fixed nitrogen in chickpea foliage ranged from 13 to 49%.
- Observation Fixed nitrogen in chickpea grain ranged from 30 to 44%.
- Observation Fixed nitrogen in total above-ground biomass ranged from 28 to 40%.
- Observation Grain yield of chickpea accessions ranged from 31 to 70 g per 5 plants.
- Observation Seed size of chickpea accessions ranged from 82 to 288 g per 1000 seeds.
- Association Landraces were overwhelmingly superior to introduced genotypes for symbiotic and agronomic characters, except seed size.
- Association For seed size, the best chickpea genotypes were all from exotic sources.
- Observation Differences among genotypes, locations and genotype-by-location interactions were significant for a number of characters.
- Recommendation Selection of the best individuals within and among accessions is expected to be effective.
