The relationships between some phenological and morphological properties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and the possibilities of using these properties in selection: The Western Mediterranean Region Model

Abstract

In this study, the relationships between grain yield and yield characteristics were analyzed by running correlation and linear regression analyses. In the study, the herbal properties of 18 registered chickpea varieties and 3 local chickpea lines were used. The trials were continued for two years in two locations in the transitional zone of the AntalyaKorkuteli-Ulucak village and the coastal conditions of Antalya Aksu in the western Mediterranean region. According to the results of correlation and regression analysis, significant correlations were found between the yield and the number of the days to 50% emergence (r = -0.6707 and p
