“…Among the four major grain legumes, chickpea is believed to have the smallest range of cold tolerance (Murray et al, 1988). The absence of accessions in the highest category of resistance and low diversity for the three stress-response traits supports this view, and extends further to show that the ranges of resistance to Ascochyta blight and leaf miner are even smaller than that for cold tolerance.…”

Kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the common cultivated type of chickpea in arid and semi-arid environments in the Mediterranean region. Ascochyta blight, (Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labr.), leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina, Rond.) and cold, are the three most important stresses on chickpea grown under semi-arid conditions in this region. Phenotypic frequencies for responses to these stresses in the eight major chickpeagrowing regions of the world were estimated from 5,672 kabuli chickpea accessions assembled from these regions. In addition, the accessions were evaluated for 12 morpho-physiological and three phenological characters under semi-arid Mediterranean conditions at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Aleppo, Syria. Considerable regional differences in frequency distributions for response to the three stresses were observed. Average phenotypic diversity for responses to the three stresses was lower (H o = 0.474) than for morpho-physiological (H o = 0.754) and phenological (H o = 0.812) characters. The highest frequencies of accessions resistance to Ascochyta-blight and leaf-miner were found in South Asia and South Central Asia, respectively. A small number of chickpea breeding materials of ICARDA showed a moderate level of tolerance to cold. A group of four characters showing the strongest bivariate association with each of the three stresses was identified from the latter group. Then, a discrete multivariate log-linear analysis of the five-way frequency table was performed for each group. The simplest log-linear model for each group included both two-and three-factor association terms, but no independent factors. This suggested the potential for indirect selection for stress tolerance using one or more of these associated characters. The roles of these characters in ideotype breeding of kabuli chickpea for arid and semi-arid Mediterranean conditions deserves careful assessment.

“…Issues affecting adoption include weed pressure and controlling soil erosion throughout the winter and spring. High density sowing is one method to reduce erosion, weed pressure, and crop failure due to winter‐kill (Murray et al, 1988). However, wide spacing (before winter: 30–60 plants m 2 and after winter: 15–30 plants m 2 ) is recommended for grain production, as plants have a strong ability to produce reproductive branches and are less prone to lodging (Poulain, 1984; Link et al, 2010).…”

Adaptation of Autumn‐Sown Faba Bean Germplasm to Southeastern Washington

et al. 2016

Information regarding the suitability of autumn‐sown faba bean (Vicia faba L.) in southeastern Washington is lacking. Therefore, a variety trial testing the effects of two sowing dates was conducted for two seasons (2011–2012 and 2012–2013) at three locations: Central Ferry Research Farm (CF), Pomeroy, WA; Spillman Agronomy Farm (SF), Pullman, WA; Whitlow Farm (WF), Pullman, WA, with 20 northern European breeding lines, or cultivars, and U.S. Department of Agriculture‐Agricultural Research Service National Plant Germplasm System (USDA‐ARS NPGS) sourced germplasm accessions with predetermined winter‐hardiness. Winter‐hardiness and yield varied depending on location, timing of sowing, and genotype effects. Survival was greatest at CF where the extreme low air temperature was –6°C, yet multiple entries tolerated an extreme low of –14°C in Pullman. In both years, the second sowing at the CF location improved survival, whereas the first sowing was only beneficial at the Pullman locations when seedlings were established before the first hard frost. Providing a longer establishment and cold acclimation period was expected to optimize hardiness and yield potential. However, achieving two to three nodes before the first hard frost was difficult at dryland managed SF and WF locations where soil moisture was limiting. Across entries and site‐years, the mean survival was 65% with a yield of 2800 kg ha−1. To realize the potential of autumn‐sown faba bean in southeastern Washington, genotypes with earlier maturity than the northern European materials tested herein will be needed.

“…A general recommendation for much of southeastern Washington is to sow by the first week of October. Generally, this coincides with daily average air (<8°C) and soil (<10°C) temperatures (Murray et al, 1988), but early hard freezes can seriously compromise stand establishment.…”
