Proceedings of the International Workshop on Chickpea Improvement Held at Hyderabad, India on February 28-March 2, 1979

摘要

New approaches to breeding of chickpeas (CP's) require increased cooperation between national and international breeding programs. In 1979, the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) sponsored an international seminar at Hyderabad, India to review ICRISAT's research on CP improvement and to discuss the merits of new breeding techniques. Topics discussed at the seminar, whose proceedings are presented in this report, were: breeding strategies; yield improvement through Kabuli-Desi introgression; CP agronomy, physiology, and microbiology; and breeding at the national level.
