Evaluation of Amino Acids and Yield Components on Certain Promising Varieties of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Abstract

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), often known as Bengal gram or Bengal gram, is a self-pollinated leguminous crop with diploid annual (2n = 16 chromosomes) that belongs to the family Leguminosae and sub family Papilinoceae. A lab experiment was conducted on Chickpea for biochemical and Physical characteristics on selected potential genotypes/varieties of chickpea [Cicer arietinum L.] in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 replication in pot in year of 2019-20. Seeds of chickpea genotypes/varieties were obtained from pulse Breeder, Department of Genetics and Plant breeding, CSAUAT, Kanpur. In the laboratory of CSA University's Department of Agricultural Biochemistry, Biochemical characteristics: ie. Methionine content, Tryptophan content and Physical characteristics: ie. No. of pod per plant, Yield (g/plant), Grain Yield (q/ha), Maturity period (days) were receded. Overall KGD-2021 Variety was better in terms of Biochemical as well as Physical characteristics of Chickpea followed by KGD-2012.
