Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) holds a significant position among grain legumes due to its unique combination of high drought resistance, atmospheric nitrogen fixation capacity, and high biological value of its seeds.

Given the global trend of climate aridity, chickpeas have become a strategic crop for diversifying agricultural production, enabling stable yields in regions with precipitation deficits. However, the realization of the genetic yield potential of chickpeas heavily depends on the correct variety selection, which must be adapted to the specific soil and climatic conditions of the region. Modern domestic and foreign genotypes differ in their growing season duration, resistance to abiotic stresses, and yield structure.

Studying the correlation between the weight of seeds per plant and the number of pods is of particular relevance, as it allows for the optimization of cultivation technology. Investigating the morpho-biological parameters of different varieties is an essential stage in forming a varietal policy aimed at the sustainable development of the pulse sector. Furthermore, as a valuable predecessor, chickpeas contribute to improving soil fertility and increasing the overall profitability of crop rotations.
