Abstract
Chickpea stem cuttings were used for vegetative propagation to multiply wild Cicer species and F1 hybrids produced from intraspecific hybridization. Stem cuttings of three varieties were treated with different concentrations of root inducing hormones NAA and IAA to compare and standardize the optimum concentration of these hormones. Three different concentrations (0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg l-1) of NAA induced 100 % rooting within ten days in all varieties. Wild Cicer species and F1 hybrids with less number of seeds were treated with 0.5 mg l-1 of NAA. About 10-13 plants were produced from every F1 seed. All plants performed well in the field and produced sufficient quantity of seed.
