Biometric Indicators of Semi-Erect Chickpea (Cicer Arietinum L.) Collection Samples Grown Under Weakly Saline Soil Conditions of Sirdarya Region
Abstract
This article presents the results of studying semi-erect chickpea collection accessions under mildly saline soil conditions. The study object comprised semi-erect chickpea accessions introduced from the ICARDA international organization. Among them, the FLIP 97-21c and FLIP 97-95c collection accessions were identified as promising in terms of yield, with their productivity recorded at 22–22.08 c/ha. Additionally, the FLIP 97-95c, FLIP 98-211c, and FLIP 97-23c collection accessions exhibited 1000-seed weights of 429–433.4 g, surpassing the control, and were recommended as primary sources for initiating breeding programs.
