To determine the physical characteristics of some promising varieties/genotypes of chickpea

Twenty varieties/genotype viz. Vijay, BG-256, JG-16, CSG-8961, BG-372, K-3256, KWR-108, KPG-59, Radhey, Avarodhi KGD-1288, KGD-1295, KGD-1296, KGD-1302, KGD-1315, KGD-1316, KGD-2012, Pusa-209, Pusa-391 and RBG-1 were taken from oil seed research farm Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, The quality parameter like Grain yield, 1000 seed weight, Dhal recovery, Husk recovery, Broken dhal, Loss on processing were studies under after harvest of crop. Grain sample from different varieties/genotypes were brought to laboratory. The range of variability in chickpea varieties/genotypes was from Grain yield (11.39-19.35 q/ha), 1000 seed weight (153.05-292.85g), Dhal recovery (76.59-84.22%), Husk recovery (10.32-14.30%), Broken dhal (1.70-4.22%), Loss on processing (3.32-5.59%). Among the Chickpea genotype KGD-1316 appeared to be the best having excelled in two physical characters such as grain yield and test weight out of the six physical parameter was studied.
