chickpea is an important pulse crop in india. the quality seed production of every crop is based on several seed standards set by seed certification agencies. here this powerpoint slides discuss about the importance of chickpea and the minimum seed standards of chickpeea crop

3. –Second Most cultivated food legume
after common bean
– also known as gram/ Bengal
gram/ garbanzo bean/Egyption
pea/channa
–one of the earliest cultivated legumes
– ORIGIN-Middle East.

placentation

13. • EMASCULATION & POLLINATION:
– Self pollinated crop :1.58% cross pollination
– The emasculation 1 day before pollination
– Pollination done at morning hours

14. 1. For higher yield
2. For better adaptation
3. for resistance to biotic stress
4. For resistance to abiotic stress
5. Identification of stable form of male sterility
