Abstract

---

Seeds of the 2 local desi chickpea varieties viz., Pb-91and C-44 were irradiated through gamma rays at 200 and 300 Gy doses during the year 2000. The M1 to M4 generations were raised from 2000-2001 to 2003-2004 at NIFA experimental field, Peshawar. The selected high yielding mutants were evaluated in replicated yield trials during 2004-2005 for yield and some important agronomic traits. The mutants derived from Pb-91 ranged for days to 50% flowering, 90% pods maturity and plant height from 149 to 156 days
