Crop wild relatives are a reservoir of phenotypic variation not present in the germplasm of cultivated species and thus have great potential for crop improvement. However, issues of genetic compatibility often interfere with effective utilization of crop wild relative taxa. Among chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) crop wild relatives, Cicer echinospermum P.H. Davis is the sole species in the seconda...

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major abiotic stress that negatively impacts plant growth and crop productivity. Al ions are released into soil solutions as function of pH, which in turn determined by combination factors, including local geology, historic vegetation land-use patterns. Selection use Al-tolerant crops preferred method to address the problem toxicity. The present study evaluated moder...

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of micronutrients on growth and yield performance chickpea. The consisted using two factors- variety treatments. Two local cultivars viz. BARI Chola-5 Chola-9 five treatments e.g. T0 = control, T1 2 kg B/ha, T2 Mo/ha, T3= seed priming with Mo (1g/l water), T4 foliar spray B (0.5 g/l water) + T5 B/ha were considered for this study. A randomized com...

The present experiment was conducted during Rabi 2019 at experimental field of Pulses Research unit, Dr. PDKV, Akola to assess the suitable priming treatment for chickpea crop (variety: JAKI-9218). laid out in randomize block design three replication. morpho-physiological traits viz. germination %, plant height, number branches, dry matter content, day required 50% flowering were taken.. i.e. %...
