Abstract

Climate experiencing short growing season with drought, heat and frost stress makes earliness traits such as early flowering and early maturity, desirable to reduce crop yield loss including in chickpea. Aiming at this in chickpea, an advanced breeding line IPC 2019-05 was developed. It exhibited earliness traits including early flowering and early maturity with improved yield evaluated under various location including Kanpur, Bhopal and Dharwad. Therefore, this genotype could be potentially used for transferring earliness traits into elite chickpea cultivars to improve chickpea yield under drought and heat stress conditions.
