Effect of Various Morphological Traits on Chickpea Yield Under Drought and Normal Field Conditions
Yousaf Ali, M. A. Haq, G. R. Tahir and Nazir Ahmad

Abstract: Ten chickpea genotypes were evaluated for various morphological traits and yield under drought and normal field conditions. Genotype CM 2 produced more pods per plant, more elliptic index of leaf and more grain yield per plant under both conditions. Multiple correlation and regression analysis revealed that under normal conditions over all 92 percent variability in yield was accounted for by the plant height, secondary branches, pods per plant and elliptic index of leaf. While under drought conditions 96 percent variability in yield was accounted for by plant height, primary and secondary branches and pods per plant. Yield had high dependence upon plant height, secondary branches and pods per plant both under drought and normal field conditions.
