Abstract

Chickpeas, a nutritionally rich legume that is widely appreciated in world cuisine, require specific care for effective cultivation. Its ability to thrive in hot climates, poor soils, and well-drained soils is essential, as it makes it possible to grow crops in different regions. The ideal planting period, typically in the spring, requires attention to seed depth and spacing, as well as careful irrigation during flowering and pod formation to avoid fungal problems. Its ability to fix nitrogen is an advantage, but controlling pests and diseases such as aphids and powdery mildew is vital for ensuring a healthy harvest. The harvest, carried out after the drying of the plants, requires careful procedures for the storage of the grains, avoiding damage by fungi. Chickpea cultivation is constantly evolving, adopting modern practices to ensure efficiency and sustainability, driven by its nutritional significance and crucial presence in global cuisine, encouraging continuous improvements in production to meet growing demand. The research adopted methods based on the methodological framework outlined in the study "Factorial Experimental Design: A Brief Review".
