Abstract

This research was conducted to evaluate some chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes for yield, yield components and resistance to pod borer under Kassala State environment, Sudan. The experiment was set in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) replicated thrice for three consecutive seasons (2016/ 2017, 2017/018 and 2018-019), respectively. The results of the combined analysis revealed significant differences in 50% days to flowering, 100 seed weight, and infestation by American Boll Worm (ABW) as well as yield of different tested chickpea varieties. Wad Hamid, Atmoor, Matama and Jabal Mara genotypes recorded the least number of days to 50% flowering fluctuated between 38 – 41 days. Salwa, Wad Hamid, Matama and Burgaig gave the highest 100 seed weights with 21.9, 21.5, 12.2 and 21.0 grams, while the best yielders were Matama, Atmoor, Wad Hamid and Jabal Mara with 1200.7, 1022.5, 867.7 and 866.3 (Kg/feddan) respectively. Hawata, Shandi, Wad Hamid and Burgaig are the least infested varieties by ABW with 2.7, 3.0, 4.2 and 4.5 larvae, respectively. Therefore, conclude these three varieties, (Wad Hamid, Matama and Atmoor) can be used in Kassala State for their yield performance.
