Determination of adaptation traits of some chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes in diyarbakir ecological conditions

This research was conducted to determine adaptation characteristics of some chickpea genotypes in the spring season of 2018 in Dicle University Faculty of Agriculture. The research was established in randomized block design with 3 replications. In this research, 3 types of registered, 11 lines in F8 level, 4 lines obtained from ICARDA and 3 local genotypes were used. In the first days of plant development, irrigation was carried out 4 times in different periods due to the absence of precipitation in March and April. Grain yield ranged from 155.3 kg/da to 76.20 kg/da and the FLIP98-206C genotype was prominent. 100 grain weight ranged from 35.54 to 50.20 g and 100 grain weight among genotypes was obtained from the highest hybrid lines. Since ICARDA lines generally have low grain size, they produced higher number of grains than hybrid lines. As a result of the research, it was determined that adaptation of ICARDA lines and local genotypes of KONYA, Diyarbakır (N5-5) under Diyarbakır conditions were appropriate.
