Abstract
Growing chickpea in sustainable systems requires the use and development of more adaptable genotypes which can adjust to the package of technology in vogue. Legumes are poor competitors with weeds. Hence repeated experiments were undertaken for quantifying the tolerance of chickpea cultivars with pre emergence herbicide pendimethalin 330E and post emergence herbicide fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 75 EW each at four doses. The chickpea varieties tested for tolerance were KC-98, Sheenghar, Lawaghir, KK-1, KK-2, SL-01-13, SL-02-13, SL-02-20, SL-02-22, SL-02-29, SL-03-29 and SL-04-29. Data were recorded on fresh and dry biomass of the germplasm. Sheenghar variety produced the best fresh weight (13.7 g) fol1owed by KC-98, Lawaghir and KK-1 (13.1
