Abstract
Eight chickpea genotypes were grown in the field condition with and without supplemental irrigation.
Both root length and weight densities of these genotypes were affected by moisture stress. The genotypes
ICCV-92065. ICCV-94912 exhibited lower yield under moisture stress situation. BARI chola-4. ICCV94923.
and Annigiri maintained better root length under moisture stress situation of which BARI chola-4
was the most promising genotype in terms of yield and harvest index, and BARI chola-6, ICCV 92501
and ICCV-94923 were closely following it.
