Abstract: Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is among the major pulse crops in Ethiopia. Despite of its importance the national productivity is low as compared to the potential of chickpea. As first step for the improvement of the crop, this study was conducted to assess the genetic variability and to estimate the association of traits, and determine the direct and indirect effects of yield related traits on yield of kabuli chickpea genotypes. Twenty five chickpea genotypes were evaluated in 5 x ...
