Selection of high photosynthetic productivity, adaptable to mechanism and high yielding lines of winter checkpea for Rainfed areas

Currently, the possibility of satisfying the demand for checkpea grain from the crop grown in our republic is very low. Therefore, grains of the main leguminous crops are exported from abroad. In turn, the year-by-year increase in population increases the demand for checkpea grain. The checkpea plant is grown for food purposes, it is superior to all leguminous crops due to its quick-dissolving protein content, high palatability, and ease of digestion. Cereals and flour are used in the preparation of various cuisines. Checkpea plant yield and grain quality depend on changes in metabolism during plant growth as a result of the interaction of the genetic basis of the variety under several environmental conditions. The general task of the selection of checkpeas grown in different regions is to create high-yielding, high-protein, drought-resistant varieties that are adapted to the mechanization of the harvesting process. In order to eliminate the abovementioned problems, research work was carried out in the experimental area of the Qamashi department of the Southern Agricultural Research Institute. 35 varieties and lines were planted in the control nursery of winter checkpea in 3 rotations, the plot area was 5 m2, and all aspects were studied.
