The effect of water stress and storage conditions on seed quality of chickpea genotypes characterized by differences in seed size and coat colour
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an excellent utilizer of residual soil moisture in agricultural ecosystems. However, its seed quality and hence reproduction is constrained by water stress, seed size and storage conditions. This study was carried out at the University of KwaZulu- Natal (UKZN), …
