Abstract

Chick-pea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important grain legumes in the food diet of human kind. It isn't so much tolerant to low temperature. In order to determine cold tolerance of eleven chick-pea genotypes a split plot experiment based on randomized complete blocks design was carried out in agricultural research centre of west Azerbaijan province in 2011-12 years. Two planting dates (October and November) were considered as main plots and eleven chick-pea genotypes arranged at sub plots under field conditions. Also, lethal fifty percent temperatures (LT50) of genotypes under cold stress were measured in green house conditions. Results analysis of variance showed significant differences for traits of grain yield, 100-kernel weight, grain per pod, number of pod per plant and number of survival plants after cold stress. Survive plants were predominant in Flip 82-150 and Flip 93-174 in comparing other genotypes. Flip 93-174 at the first and second planting dates had higher grain yield 143 and 149 g/m2, respectively. Flip 93-174 with LT50=-9°C was the most cold tolerant. In contrast genotypes of Qazvin and Flip 92-169 with LT50=-1°C were the least value
