	Chickpea
		Chickpea is consumed as a dry pulse crop or as a green vegetable with the former use being most common.
		Chickpea is a cool season annual crop performing optimally in 70° to 80°F daytime temperatures and 64° to 70°F night temperatures.
		Chickpea is a cool season species and is frost tolerant as seedlings so seeds should be planted in early to mid-April when the small grains are planted in the Upper Midwest.

	Chickpea
		Chickpea is grown in tropical, sub-tropical and temperate regions.
		Chickpea seeds are eaten fresh as green vegetables, parched, fried, roasted, and boiled; as snack food, sweet and condiments; seeds are ground and the flour can be used as soup, dhal, and to make bread; prepared with pepper, salt and lemon it is served as a side dish (Saxena, 1990).
		Chickpea may be cultivated as a sole crop, or mixed with barley, lathyrus (grasspea), linseed, mustard, peas, corn, coffee, safflower, potato, sweet potato, sorghum, or wheat.

		Chickpea is either the first or the second most important, rainfed, cool season food legume, grown mainly by small farmers in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) and West Asia and North Africa (WANA) regions.
		Chickpea is an important source of protein in the diets of the poor in the SAT and WANA regions, and is particularly important in vegetarian diets.
		Chickpea is grown mostly as a rainfed, postrainy season, winter crop in subtropical south Asia, parts of Africa, and Australia.

		Chickpea protein digestibility is the highest among the dry edible legumes.
		Chickpea, the world's third most important food legume, is currently grown on about 10 m ha worldwide, with 95% cultivation in the developing countries.
		There was a reduction in the chickpea area in northern India but it was largely compensated by increase in the chickpea area in central and southern India.

	Lentil and Chickpea Production in Jordan
		Chickpea and lentil are considered major food legume crops in Jordan since they are an important part of the diet.
		As a result of low productivity, and the relative small seed size (specially for chickpea with varieties weighing 26-36 gm/100 seed), it’s not easy to farmers in Jordan to compete in their produce with that of other farmers in the neighboring countries such as Syria and Turkey whose crops are produced on a larger scale.
		Those included the release of three lentil and three chickpea improved varieties and those concerned with the optimum cultural practices to be used in producing lentil and chickpea (land preparation, sowing date and rate, sowing method, sowing depth, fertilization, weed control, Brochus and Sitona control and harvest).

	CGIAR: Research & Impact: Areas of Research: Chickpea
		Because the oldest records of the cultivated chickpea are from Turkey, historians assume that the crop spread out globally from that area to Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa.
		In the tropics and sub-tropics with summer rainfall, chickpea is mostly grown on residual soil moisture or sometimes under irrigation.
		Chickpea is on over 10 million ha in 45 countries of the world.

	Chickpea in 2001: Big Money, Big Wreck Potential
		The water use equation for chickpea is poorly understood but preliminary data suggest the initial yield point for Kabuli chickpea requires 3 to 4" of water, beyond which water is converted at a rate of approximately 2.5 bu per acre-inch.
		Chickpea is, however, the preferred feed of jackrabbits, gophers, both white-tailed and mule deer and pronghorn.

	Growing Chickpea in the Northern Great Plains
		Chickpea is a poor competitor with weeds at all stages of growth.
		Chickpea normally has a low shattering potential, although pod drop has occurred in some instances when harvesting was delayed, and pod shattering has occurred in unusually hot late August and early September temperatures.
		Chickpea stubble, as is the case for other pulse crop stubbles, should not be used to plant winter wheat because seeding disturbance destroys scarce crop residues and most often there is insufficient soil moisture to properly germinate the winter wheat crop.

	Chickpea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The chickpea, chick pea, garbanzo bean, ceci bean, bengal gram, chana or channa (Cicer arietinum) is an edible legume (English "pulse") of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae.
		Chickpeas are toxic at very high doses, especially when they are the only source of protein.
		One theory of chickpea toxicity is that the high level of the amino acid glutamate interferes with synaptic activity.

	Chickpea in 2001: Big Money, Big Wreck Potential
		Chickpea's deep rooting habit and thus tolerance to water stress makes it a winner under adverse drought conditions that commonly occur in Montana and other areas of the Northern Great Plains.
		In Montana for 2001, chickpea may do well on wheat/barley stubble in the north central and northeastern parts of Montana that have at least 36 inches of moist soil (6+ inches of stored water).
		The water use equation for chickpea is poorly understood but preliminary data suggest the initial yield point for Kabuli chickpea requires 3 to 4 inches of water, beyond which water is converted at a rate of about 2.5 bushels per acre-inch.

	New agriculturist: Pulses: Check up on Chickpeas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Chickpea has a wide range of adaptation and can be grown from the Equatorial tropics to the temperate northern latitudes (50°N) of Russia and yet yields are still relatively low.
		Two types of chickpea are grown: desi, which is thought to have originated first and produces small, coloured (mostly brown) seeds and kabuli which produces a larger, cream-coloured seed.
		Chickpea crops are also particularly sensitive to salinity which is a major problem in India and Pakistan, where over 85% of the world's chickpeas are grown.

	ARS \| Publication request: Characterization of Chickpea Differentials for Virulence Assay of Ascochyta Blight and ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		After examining reactions of a moderately resistant chickpea to inoculations with 34 isolates of Ascochyta rabiei and reactions of 47 chickpea genotypes to infection with 6 isolates, a two-pathotype sytem was proposed for the isolates of Ascochyta rabiei from the western United States.
		Technical Abstract: Forty-eight chickpea germplasm lines including 22 differentials that were used in previous studies were characterized for their reactions to inoculation with a set of six isolates of Ascochyta rabiei representing a wide spectrum of virulence, and representative isolates were also directly compared with six previously identified races on eight chickpea genotypes.
		Three chickpea accessions (PI 559361, PI 559363 and W6 22589) showed consistent resistance to both pathotypes in repeated trials, and can be employed as resistance sources in chickpea breeding programs for resistance to Ascochyta blight.
