Drought Tolerance In Chıckpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Genotypes

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important legume crops in Turkey. A field study in randomized complete block design was conducted to investigate drought resistance characteristics of Chickpea varieties in the Mediterranean condition (Adana province) of Turkey. Results showed that Chickpea grain yields were influenced by drought stress and genotypes without a significant interaction. Averaged across Chickpea genotypes, grain yields were significantly decreased by 43% in response to drought stress. The highest seed yield was recorded in FLIP 98-108 C and lowest in FLIP 98-42C. Among the genotypes, the FLIP 98-108 C and FLIP 98-63 C had significantly higher mean productivity, geometric mean productivity, yield index and yield stability index when compared with Aydın and Inci as control. In contrast, the FLIP 98-24 C and FLIP 98-42 C had significantly lower STI and DTE with higher values of DSI and TOL. A significantly lower values of TOL and DSI but higher values of MP, YI, YSI, STI, DTE and GMP indicated a greater drought tolerance in FLIP 98-108 C, FLIP 98-63 C, FLIP 98-128 C, FLIP 0018 C, FLIP 98-55 C, Aydın and FLIP 98-24 C, respectively. These traits are recognized as beneficial drought tolerance indicators for selecting a stress tolerant variety. Therefore, these genotypes can be used as sources of drought tolerance in further breeding programme for evolving the drought tolerant genotypes in chickpea
