The main purpose of agricultural activities is to increase profitability. One of the most preferred methods
for this goal is to increase productivity and quality. Chickpea, except for coastal areas in our country is
grown as a spring crop. The yield of spring –grown plant is low because of drought condition in growing
period. Winter-grown crops have more yields because of a better water regime. The aim of this study, in
the highlands opportunities for winter-grown of chickpea are to identify. Trial is conducted between 1994
and 1996 in Haymana as a winter crop. In study, 2 check and 9 lines, totally 11 genotypes are used. The
highest yield was 357 kg/da in AkN 454. Ascochyta blight and weed are main constrain whereas the
yield in winter planting is more than spring planting.
