Abstract

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plant is generally erect, \nsemi-erect, spreading, semi-prostrate or prostrate \n(mainly wild annual Cicer species) in growth habit \ndepending on the angle of branches arises from the \nvertical axis. Spontaneous mutations are the source of \ngenetic variability and have resulted into dwarf erect \ncompact type plants with high number of branches \narising from base, commonly called as “bushy mutants” \nin chickpea [1-3]. In a study [4], it was reported that \nmean yield of the lines with bushy growth habit, across \nall environments, was higher than that of the erect habit \nlines...
