Recently developed Kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum) lines resistant to Aschochyta blight enhance the feasibility of winter chickpea cropping in Northern Syria. Results of studies conducted at ICARDA comparing winter and spring croppings of ILC 482, a premier line of this legume, are summarized in this report. Crop growth and soil moisture analyses were undertaken for winter and spring plantings at three locations - Jindiress, Tel Hayda, and Brida - with contrasting precipitation patterns. Calculations were made of depth of soil moisture extraction by the plants, soil profile recharge and discharge depths and amounts, evapotranspiration, crop photosynthesis surface (green area indices), crop dry matter production, and seed yield and yield components. A doubling of green area and dry matter production and increased grain yields of 35%, 123% and 161% (respectively, at the sites named above) for winter- versus spring-sown chickpeas indicate the competitive potential for this crop as a seasonal addition or replacement in traditional food crop production cycles in Northern Syria, although further research is needed to reduce farmer risk in drier areas.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.

Districts, regions and facilities named in the program's own documents, not verified sites. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far.
Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.
Solid: the documents describe the program's work there. Faint: named in the program's documents. Bigger means more mentions. Shown: region or province; squares are facilities.

DEC topic and subject tags. They describe the documents, not what the program was. Each tag opens its evidence in the drawer.
Programs worth reading next, by topic, implementer, country and years. Similar by facets (topic, implementer, country, years) and, when available, description. It says the programs look alike, not how they are related in time. Source: catalog facets
