Abstract
Eight Sudanese chickpea cultivars were evaluated and compared under two different soil types; middle terrace (Alkaru) and high terrace (Almatra) at Hudeiba Research Station, northern Sudan and during two consecutive winter seasons (2006-2008); Seed yield kg/ha, seed weight, days to 50% flowering, plant height, reduction ratio (%), stress susceptibility index, adaptability and stability parameters were measured. The average reduction under Almatra compared to Alkaru soil was 53%. There was significant soil type x cultivar interaction, suggesting specific varietal adaptation for soil type. Generally, the sensitive cultivars (Salwa and Wad Hamid) have short plant height and spreading growth habit. However, the adapted cultivars were characterized by tall plant height and semi erects growth habit. The cultivar Jabel Marra showed the lowest stress susceptibility index and reduction ratio % and was the most adapted under high terrace soil, thus it is optional under poor soil. Moreover, Burgeig cultivar was recommended.
