ASSOCIATIONS OF SOME CHARACTERS WITH GRAIN YIELD IN CHICKPEA (CICER ARIETINUM L.)
NİHAL KAYAN1* AND M. SAİT ADAK2
Abstract:
The aim of this
study was to determine relationship between yield and yield components
and the effect of importance of yield component on yield in chickpea by
using statistical procedures. Five statistical procedures including;
path analysis, regression analysis, multivariate regression analysis,
principal component analysis and dendogram analysis were used to study
the relationship between chickpea grain yield and its components.
Results showed that plant height, biological yield per plant and pods
per plant can be considered as the most important yield variables in
chickpea. High yield of chickpea plants can possibly be obtained by
selecting breeding materials with high plant height, biological yield
per plant and pods per plant. 1 Department of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversity, 26480 Eskişehir, Turkey 2 Department of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, Ankara Üniversity, 06110 Ankara, Turkey |
