Survival of desi chickpeas in the population of kabuli landraces
1979
Saxena, M C
Tests with seeds of desi [normal-seeded] and kabuli [bold-seeded] chickpea types, separated from the produce of the population of kabuli chickpea cv. Lebanese Local grown in Lebanon, showed that although laboratory germination of seeds of both types was similar, the field germination and germination in the accelerated aging test were markedly higher in the desi type than in kabuli type. The higher seed vigour and higher field germination of desi chickpea under adverse soil physical conditions at germination is 1 of the causes of its survival in the population of kabuli chickpea.
