Abstract
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), locally known as gram (Kala/Kabuli Chana), is an important crop of the Indo-Pak subcontinent. It is one of the major sources of dietary protein for the poor and average income families since exhorbitant prices of fish and poultry are beyond their financial means. In India where the majority of the population is vegetarian, pulses (Daal) form the staple food.
