Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.): A Current Review

Chickpeas are a rich source of dietary protein and phenolic bioactives that promote human health, they widely used as food culinary ingredients in current ethnic cuisines around the world. Due to its natural drought heat tolerance, chickpea will become increasingly important with climate change. Chickpea is an indeterminate crop flowering over long period time, leaf branch formation continuing during pod filling. The early stages plant inflorescence growth just later floral development. During those phases, certain properties, such architecture flower developmental timings, defined. A variety climatic environmental conditions influence growth, development, grain yield. production gets hampered by extremes unpredictable rainfall, very hot low temperatures, drought. Environmental factors like salinity nutrient deprivation have significant impact on global productivity. Every year, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris causes massive yield losses chickpeas. Other effective biotic stress root diseases (collar rot, dry rot), foliar (Ascochyta blight, Botrytis grey mold). In this review, some valuable information related extracted from international articles published mostly last year presented here.
