no doubt, damage and losses inflicted by callosobruchus maculatus to stored products in general and chickpea in particular can be significant. the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the verbascum sinuatum powder on c. maculatus oviposition behavior in chickpea under laboratory conditions (30 °c, 60% relative humidity). powder of mullein plant (v. sinuatum) caused reduction in ...

Induced systemic resistance in chickpea against wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysorum f. sp. ciceri (FOC) was studied by treating the seeds with benzo (1,2,3)-thiadizole-7-carbothioic acid smethyl ester (Bion), salicylic acid (SA) and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (K2HPO4). Reduction in disease was observed in both type of applications but seed dressing was found more effective than soaking...

abstract phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, encoded by the pepck gene, plays an important role in gluconeogenesis. it also seems to be important in metabolism of nitrogenous compounds in developing seeds of legumes, including amides and ureides which are then transformed into amino acids, necessary for the synthesis of storage proteins. in this research, pepck gene expression in mrna level, in ...

Chickpea is a legume with high nutritional value. It mainly grown in arid and semi-arid areas soils, which are characterized by deficiency mineral elements, severe water deficit poor soil quality. Our work aims to evaluate the effect of different elements on nodular biomass, growth yield chickpea. The physico-chemical analyses agronomical physiological parameters showed that level available pho...

Abstract: Processing consists of sequential operations aimed at cleaning, classifying, and treating seeds, with the goal improving quality lot. The aim this study was to evaluate effect processing stages on physical physiological chickpea cultivar BRS Cícero. Seeds were sampled before after passing through air screen machine (upper sieve 12 mm lower 7.5 mm), elevators, storage silo, gravity tab...

in arid and semi arid, seedling emergence and establishment are key stages for final plant density in chickpea production. drought stress, especially at the end of the growing season, is one of the factors which decrease a main part of chickpea grain yield in these areas. therefore the aims of this study were assess to the effects of hydro priming and hormonal priming by gibberellin and abscisi...

Genotype-environment interaction was studied in seven genotypes of chickpea under four different cultural environments. Significant variation for genotype (G), environment (E) and G × E interactions were found for the characters days to maturity, plant height, pods/plant, seeds/plant, 100-seed weight and seed yield/plant. On the basis of stability parameters the genotypes Barichola-2, Barichola...

the present investigation was carried out to study the variability, heritability, correlations and path coefficient analysis in 14 kabuli type chickpea genotypes during three successive cropping seasons (2011-14), in a randomized complete block design with four replications. combined analysis suggested significant differences between genotypes for most of characteristics. the highest phenotypic...
