A field experiment was conducted at ICAR- Indian Institute of Soil Science (IISS), Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) to evaluate the impact different levels crop residue retention and herbicidal weed control measures on dynamics, growth yield characteristics chickpea under conservation agriculture. Data were recorded study, characters chickpea. Results indicate that pre-emergence herbicide application tr...

The Field Experimentation Centre conducted the current experiment using 22 genotypes of chickpea. Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, Prayagraj Department Genetics and Plant Breeding during Rabi 2021–2022 in Randomized block design with three replications. 13 quantitative variables were studied data, including analysis variance, variability assessment, heritabili...

Endophytes have a symbiotic relationship with the different parts of plants and could play a very important role in supporting the plant growth. In present study, 11 most efficient isolates were selected out of more than 200 endophytic bacteria isolated previously from roots of chickpea (Cicer arietinum), field pea (Pisum sativum), Lucerne (Medicago sativa), wheat (Triticum aestivum) and oat (A...

Pizza being the most popular food worldwide, quality and sensory appeal are important considerations during its modification effort. This study was aimed to evaluate the quality of pizza made using two different sources of proteins, chickpea (Cicer arietinum) flour and dried carp fish powder (Cyprinus carpio). Analysis indicated nutrients richness specificity of chickpea flour (higher fiber, en...

A field experiment was carried out during rabi season of 2022 on Chickpea crop at Crop Research Farm, Department Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj, (U.P India). The soil the experimental plot Sandy loam in texture, with a pH 7.2, that neutral EC- 0.26 (dS/m), organic carbon (0.72%), available N (178.48kg/ha), P (27.80kg/ha) and K (233.24kg/ha). treatments consisted 3 levels Phosphorus (40, 50 60kg/ha...

An experiment was conducted to examine the extent of root and canopy interference of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) with sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus L.). Sowthistle was surrounded with either two or eight chickpea plants. There were different types of competition: no competition, shoot competition, root competition and full competition (root and shoot). The performance of sowthistle grown in f...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L. cv. GPF2) and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill cv. Brag) genotypes were subjected to varying water stress levels of -0.2 to -0.8 MPa to assess their relative sensitivity towards water stress. Soybean seedlings experienced significantly more stress injury (as electrolyte leakage) than chickpea at all stress levels. LD 50 in terms of percent germination, root length,...

• Response to low temperature during early growth in cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and its wild progenitor C. reticulatum was investigated to clarify the evolutionary processes under domestication in this crop. • Parental lines and their F2 and F3 progeny were exposed to cold treatment (4°C) for 30°d after seed imbibition and compared with controls. • Cold treatment caused a 19-d advanc...

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri (Foc), one of the most important fungal pathogen of chickpea, is a constant threat to this crop plant. In the present study gene expression analysis of chickpea roots during Foc infection was performed using various approaches. cDNAs derived from total mRNA during infection process of susceptible (JG62) and resistant (Digvijay) cultivars, were amplified using ra...

The noctuid, Helicoverpa armigera, is the most important crop pest worldwide. We evaluated the biological activity of soybean trypsin inhibitor and plant lectins against this pest to identify toxin genes for deployment through transgenic plants. Of the seven plant lectins tested, chickpea and snowdrop lectins showed marked antibiotic effects in terms of insect survival and development. Larval s...
