Identification of Stable Determinate Growth Genotypes in the RIL Population of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Chickpea is a cool-season annual legume crop with lion share in India, accounting for 65% of world production. Despite its domestic production, it unable to meet the current requirement. To encounter this, identification superior genotypes high yield stability essential. The present study was conducted two locations identify determinate type chickpea stable yield. Combined analysis variance revealed significant genotype × environment interaction. Results identified recombinant inbred lines viz., 183 (L1- 4866.66 kg/ha, L2- 1825 kg/ha), 12 4416.66 L2-2325 173 (Determinate type) 3466.66 2050 165 3433.33 2030 92 2708.33 1733.33 kg/ha) and 77 4096.66 2051.66 exhibited performance at both compared checks. Identified stable, this investigation, could be further utilized enhancing production productivity eventually achieving needed demand food security chickpea.
