The Participatory Selection of Cultivars has been shown to be effective in promoting the participation of different stake holder in the genetic improvement process and to know about the preferences of producers. The aim of the study was to identify cultivars with the greatest acceptance and the agronomic criteria of greatest consideration from participants' perspective. The participatory selection was carried out at the Agrodiversity Fair in the Scientific and Technological Unit de Base "Los Palacios", located in the Los Palacios Municipality, Pinar del Río province where growers, technicians and decision-makers of both sexes participated. The effective diversity percentage was determined, cultivars with the greatest acceptance and the most relevant agronomic criteria were identified. Female participation reached 44.8 % and effective diversity was 75 %. DI-77, DN-12 and DI-11 cultivars stood out for their good performance for the locality; the characters with the highest degree of acceptance at the time of selection were number of pods per plant, number of grains per pod, grain size and plant erection. Participatory cultivars selection in chickpea could be an excellent methodology to accelerate cultivars adoption, enrich genetic diversity of this crop and increase yields, also allow training, the interaction of various stake holders and promote gender equality.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the perspectives of the use of Trichoderma spp. for the management of chickpea wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris. The main aspects related to the antagonistic and mycoparasitic activity of Trichoderma spp. are summarized, as well as the enzymatic machinery deployed in the microorganism-microorganism interaction. A model integrating the different stages of the mycoparasitic activity of Trichoderma against Fusarium is proposed, based on the results of the T. harzianum -Th 4 interaction on Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris-1 and the specialized literature on the subject. Autochthonous Trichoderma strains show mycoparasitic activity against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris, suggesting their potential use in the management of chickpea wilt. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this research study was to optimize vacuum frying of sausages with added chickpea flour. Pork fat was partial substituted with chickpea flour. A central orthogonal compound design is applied at different frying temperatures and frying times. The variables moisture loss and oil absorption were measured. The results showed that frying temperature was the factor that most affected moisture loss. Chickpea flour (9%) decreased fat absorption by ~15% at 152.34°C when compared to the control. Optimized values for frying temperature and time were 108.74°C and 5.08s respectively, with a desirability value of 0.64. It is concluded that vacuum fried sausages with added chickpea is a promising application for the industry since the optimized process significantly reduces oil absorption while maintaining favorable textural parameters.

The societies in which we live, have never been homogeneous agglomerates, but quite the contrary, generally they are made up of people with diverse origuns, customs, ideologies and values, and who need to coexiste and relate in the best way, to transform their environment to the benefit of everybody during these relationships conflicts arise from interests that have ended in wars, chich have managed to destroy societies and civilizations. Hence the need to move towards a culture of peace, both in countries and societies, as well as in the different groups where man operates. A proposal to achieve this is through the use and practice of Reading, especially literary Reading, since a town of readers has a better chance of interacting harmoniously to grow and build societies that value interculturality, diversity and eliminate exclusión and injustice social. These topics are addressed within the article and base on the review of the concepts and categories of violence, pace and Reading the objective of this work is to present a proposal on the use of differents means of Reading to promote harmonious group relationships.

Introduction: In Mexico, chickpea cultivation takes place during the Fall-Winter cycle, and sometimes is damaged by low temperatures. Both, white "kabuli" type and brown chickpeas, "desi" type, are grown in the Bajio region. Method: Nine "desi" chickpea genotypes were exposed in two trials to low temperatures at two stages of development, germination and vegetative. Four of them were local varieties and five introduced genotypes from ICRISAT, India. In the first trial, the seed of the genotypes was germinated in boxes with sterile sand under two temperatures: 7.0 and 25 o C. The days to emergence were determined and afterwards the seedlings were measured, dried, and weighed. The second test consisted of exposing plants in stage of 7 to 8 compound leaves to a temperature of -4 o C for 60 minutes, with pre and post treatment of 20 min at 4 o C, subsequently they were placed under the sun for two hours; after this protocol, the damage to each individual plant was visually rated. Results: In the first trial, at 25 o C all genotypes germinated in five days (average germination 91.3 %), while at 7.0 o C germination was delayed until 20 days (average germination 80 %) and the percentage decreased differentially among genotypes. ICC 3287, an introduced material, showed the highest average germination under both temperatures 94.9 %, followed by the local cultivar Lerma 89.3 %. The plantlet and root lengths showed significant differences (p < 0.001) between temperature treatments, genotypes, and their interaction; low temperature decreased both characteristics. In contrast, dry weight was similar between temperatures, with significant differences (p < 0.001) among genotypes and for the interaction temperature by genotype. At both temperatures, ICC 1263 showed the highest dry weight followed by cultivar Lerma. In the second trial, ICC 6671 and Lerma show the least damage by low temperature at the vegetative stage. Conclusion: Three introduced genotypes and a local cultivar showed outstanding traits: ICC 3287 higher germination under both tested temperatures, ICC 1263 higher seedling dry weight at suboptimal temperature; ICC 6671 along with cultivar Lerma were tolerant to freezing temperature stress in the vegetative stage.

The apparent protein digestibility (AD) of flour and solutions of chickpea flour (GD) (Cicer arietinum L.) in vivo was evaluated using albino laboratory mice (Mus musculus BALB / C) and in vitro using Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Saccharomycetaceae) as the model organism, using the YPD medium (yeast extract, peptone, dextrose) at pH 5.8 as control. The GD media were prepared with and without enzyme adjusted to 5.8, 5.5, 4.6, 3.8, 2.8, 2.3 and 2.0 pH values. The model organism was seeded in Petri dishes with YDP and GD media, incubated at 30°C for 24 h. Mice were used in 5 working groups with 2 specimens per group, fed diets based on commercial oats, corn flour and 4, 8, 12% chickpea flour. A 20 g/d ration was given for 15 days, at the end the feces were collected and the nitrogen and protein content was determined by the Kjeldahl method. The in vitro AD obtained with the model organism from GD at pH 5.8 with the addition of enzyme, showed a 66.5±11.9% value. The AD obtained in vivo with "albino mice" using chickpea flour between 4 to 12%, showed values between 80,0 and 83,5% with p <0.05. We observed the feasibility of using DA evaluation using S. cerevisiae, which should be expanded with additional research, because it is a low cost alternative that would help overcome limitations and ethical objections for the use of animals.

Using 1 kg capacity pots, four treatments were establishing in correspondence with the following initial nematode population levels (Pi) with 0 (control); 1,5; 2,5 and 5 eggs and second stage juveniles per gram of substrate. The experiment was conducted during 35 days and, at the end of this period, the stem/leaves and roots fresh biomass, number of galls in roots, Root galling index, final population and the Reproduction Factor were determined. The data were analyzed through Simple Variance Analysis and the relationship between Pi and the stem/leaves fresh biomass was determined by regression analysis. The chickpea 'Nacional-29' cultivar was good host and susceptible to M. incognita, with variable values and superior than 1. The root biomass showed statistic differences between treatments and stem/leaves fresh biomass decrees with the increment of initial population levels of M. incognita. The negative impact of increased initial population of M. incognita in 'Nacional 29' chickpea cultivar, aspect that the farmers must take in consideration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, the effects of ionic strength and soaking time of chickpea Kabuli (Cicer arietinum L.), bean cargamanto (Phaseolus vulgaris Cranberry Group), and pea (Pisum sativum) on the kinetics of water absorption and capacity of water retention (CAA and CRA) of each one of the grains were determined. To do this, solutions of 0, 0.1, 2.6, and 5.2 mol of NaCl / L ions were used, in relation grain: solution (1: 6). In the results, it was found that grain type, ionic strength and time had a significant effect on CAA and CRA. In chickpeas with the addition of NaCl at a concentration of 0.1M, the soaking time can be reduced from 8 h without salt to 6 h, obtaining CAA and CRA of 0.8 g and 76.95% respectively. In relation to beans and peas, the largest CAA and CRA were obtained with 14h of soaking, without the addition of NaCl. The addition of NaCl in the soaking of grains can decrease the soaking time, but the added amount influences its technicalfunctional properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Legumes such as chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) are sources of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, folic acid, b-carotene and fatty acids that promote health; therefore, its integral use is necessary. The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition, functional properties and antioxidant capacity of chickpea formulations with heat treatments and to identify its potential for developing new products. Formulations were cooked grain and flour made from raw chickpea and flour made from cooked chickpea. The evaluations included pH, Aw, chemical composition, absorption capacity, water retention, emulsification, foaming, foam stability and antioxidant capacity. A completely randomized experimental design was utilized, the data were analyzed with a one-way ANOVA and differences between average values were evaluated with the Tukey (p£0.05) test. Aw remained constant in the flours, but in cooked grain moisture content was affected (p£0.05), which limits its use in commercial food production. In protein content, fiber and fat were reduced little by the heat treatment. The capacity of water absorption and retention and gelation increased with the heat treatments, while foam stability and emulsification capacity decreased. Antioxidant capacity of the extracts (total phenols, DPPH and TEAC) was not significantly affected by the heat treatments in the flour, but in cooked grain antioxidant capacity was lower (p£0.05) because of its higher moisture content. Because of its chemical characterization and antioxidant capacity, cooked chickpea flour can be used to enrich foods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To objective of evaluate the response of two cultivars of chickpea (Nac-29 and Nac-5 HA) under different soil moisture conditions, field research was carried out in productive teaching plot of the University of Granma. Sowing was carried out on November 22, 2014. Two treatments were used: T1 (Control) and T2 (varieties of chickpea in water stress) with three replicates, distributed in a randomized block design with split plot arrangements (The large plots corresponded to the two moisture conditions and the small plots to varieties). The variables were: length and diameter of pods, number of grains per plant, number of grains per pods, weight of 100 seeds and agricultural yield. The results obtained were statistically processed using the STATISTICA version 8.0 for Windows program and in case of significant differences, a variance analysis was performed using the Tukey Multiple Range test. The results showed that, with the cultivation of the chickpea, better results are obtained when the plants are subjected to water stress conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study was the cultural and morphological identification and characterization of sixteen isolates of Fusarium spp. from chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seeds and plants. Colony color (surface and reverse) and texture, shape of the colony edges, presence of rings on the colony surface, and the linear growth, were the cultural variables evaluated. Size, shape, and color of the vegetative and reproductive structures were the morphological variables examined. A taxonomic key was used for identifying the fungi. All the isolate characteristics analyzed showed a great variability. It was identified the presence of Fusarium proliferatum (Matsushima) Nirenberg, Fusarium nygamai Burgess & Trimboli, Fusarium dlamini Marasas, Nelson & Toussoun, and Fusarium phyllophilum Nirenberg & O’Donnell, all them represented by one isolate. Two isolates corresponded to Fusarium solani (Martius) Appel & Wollenweber emend. Snyder & Hansen and three to Fusarium oxysporum Schlechtendahl emend. Snyder& Hansen. According to its characteristics, one of the isolates remained as Fusarium sp. Cultural variability was observed among the isolates of a same species, which showed the possible presence of biotypes.

The objective of this work was to characterize the raw and roasted grains that are used in the Cuban coffee factories. The grains were natural Arabica Cuban coffee and Robusta coffee from Brazil, pea (Pisum sativum L.) from Canada and chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) harvested in Cuba. The following determinations to the raw and roasted grains were made: hardness, apparent density, diameter and weight and content of aflatoxin B1, vitamin C, moisture, minerals, proteins, fiber, ash, total and assimilable carbohydrates and energy value. In general, the roast temperature influenced negatively on the nutritional composition of the grains and it was observed a significant decreasing of weight of the grain, apparent density, hardness and moisture. The loss for coffees and pea were according with to dayness of torrefaction process under the Cuban technological conditions. The Arabica coffee tolerates the thermal treatment better than Robusta coffee and the chickpea better than the pea. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study was to construct the life table of Plodia interpunctella Hübner on chickpea. The experiment was conducted at the Laboratory of Entomology, National Center for Plant and Animal Health (CENSA), under average conditions of temperature and relative humidity of 26.6 ± 1.0°C and 78.2 ± 6.5%, respectively. For the study, a cohort of 133 eggs was selected. After egg hatching, the number of larval instars and mortality in each of the insect stages were determined. With the results, the life table was constructed and several population parameters calculated. This lepidopteron showed high fecundity (mx) with an average of 463 ± 34.28 eggs per female. The larval period passed through five instars, with the largest number of deaths in the first instar, which allowed that 57.53% of the total of the hatched larvae reached the adult stage. In the population parameters, a generation time (T) of 40.57 days and a high net reproductive rate (R0) (252.71) were obtained, assuring replacement in a high number. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) was of 0.14 and the finite rate of increase (ë) 1.15. The high population values make of this insect species an important pest for chickpea under storage conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A study on the behavior of five lines of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), from the Dry Areas Research Institute (ICARDA), (Syrian Arab Republic), for Los Palacios´s municipality conditions was carried out. Sowing was done in December of 2008. A randomized block experimental design with three replications using three cuban varieties as control treatments was employed. The plant height (cm), number of branches/plant, number of sheaths/plant, filled and empty sheaths/plant, 100-grain weight (g), crop yield (t.ha-1) and disease incidence (%) were evaluated. The obtained values were analyzed using a simple ANOVA and means were compared by Tukey's test. The results indicated that all lines responded to the edaphoclimatic conditions of the site. Nevertheless, lines 1 and 3 showed the best behavior in all evaluated characters even the yield, which exceeded 2 t.ha-1. Also they were highly resistant to disease caused by Fusarium sp.

Chickpea rust (Uromyces ciceris-arietini (Grognot) Jacz. & Boyd.) is an important foliar disease in all areas where this legume is cultivated. The present work was carried out during two consecutive years (2009 and 2010), with the objective of evaluating, under field conditions, the incidence (I) and severity (S) of chickpea rust on 28 genotypes and its relationship with leaf types (TH) uni-imparipinnate (A) and multipinnate (B). In the time studied, rust manifested massively late, with I = 92.14 % and S = 61.10 %, corresponding the highest infection levels to genotypes with leaf type A, compared to leaf type B; three lines B and one A presented better behavior to rust. Severity and incidence was correlated with each other and with the TH. This work constitutes the first study carried out in Cuba about genotypes response to rust and represents an advance step in the genetic improvement related with the selection, adoption and dissemination of chickpea cultivars with a better disease behavior.

Systematic samplings were conducted in the chickpea varieties Nacional 29 and JP-94 in three production units of Las Tunas province, Cuba, with a weekly frequency during each crop growing season from 2008–2011. The relative abundance and frequency of Heliothis virescens (F.) and Spodoptera frugiperda Smith were evaluated on 50 plants per plot in each sampling. S. frugiperda populations were observed to decline in favor of H. virescens. The carrying capacity, the intrinsic rate of increase and the coefficient of competition of both species were determined using the Lotka-Volterra model of interspecific competition. The isoclines generated by the logistic model were determined. It was corroborated that the differences in the abundance of these species on the crop are a response to an interspecific competition for exploitation of resources. The results obtained were the base for the estimation of 0.5 to 1 larva per plant as a signaling index of H. virescens in chickpea. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The presence of arsenic (As) in soils allows migration to crops like chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). In this paper we compare contents of As in three soils of two states of the Mexican Republic, and its accumulation in C. arietinum L. The soils were moderately alkaline, non-saline, intermediate gearboxes and zeta potential (pZ) indicating moderately stable colloidal suspensions. With moderate moisture content and clay-loam textures, bulk density, field capacity, stable aggregates and cation exchange capacity, significantly different and similar infiltration rate and thickness of horizon A. Organic matter, carbon and nitrogen are significantly different and low content. There are important differences between seeds of C. arietinum L. certified or not in their ability to germinate and root development. The genotoxic effects of As in roots of C. arietinum L. appreciated by induction of micronucleus, 2.8- fold reduction of cell division in water samples treated with As, regarding control samples. As was observed increase of 9.5 times in seedlings germinated in soil El Salitre, that in Bella Vista soil, indicative of migration As. The sum effect of concentration of As in soil and water is increased 15.3 times. Among soils Bella Vista and Querétaro, the correlation was 2.9 times greater. In positive controls the IBAs are three times higher than in the experimental tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Para determinar el efecto de la inclusión de 0, 15, 30, 45 ó 60 % de garbanzo de desecho (GD) en las características de la canal, rendimiento en cortes primarios y composición tisular, se utilizaron 40 canales de corderos Katahdin x Pelibuey. Se registraron las características de la canal y los cortes primarios se diseccionaron en tejido magro (TM), adiposo (TA) y óseo (TO). La inclusión de GD no modificó (P>0.05) la respuesta productiva ni las características de la canal, mientras que la grasa pélvico-renal incrementó en los tratamientos con 45 y 60 % (P<0.01). No se observó efecto de los tratamientos (P>0.05) en el rendimiento de cuello, hombro, brazuelo, pecho y lomo, a diferencia del costillar y la falda, donde éste fue inferior (P<0.05) en los corderos que recibieron GD. En respuesta a la inclusión de GD, aumentó (P<0.05) el TA de pierna (9.9 vs 13.1 %), pecho (16.1 vs 26.0 %), brazuelo (13.2 vs 18.2 %) y falda (43.6 vs 51.2 %); y disminuyó (P<0.02) el TM en pecho (66.8 vs 57.7 %) y falda (56.4 vs 48.8 %). El TM total disminuyó (62.6 vs 58.0 %; P<0.04); y el TA total incrementó con la inclusión de GD (17.1 vs 21.5 %; P<0.02). La relación músculo/grasa se modificó (P<0.02) por la inclusión de GD (3.7 vs 2.8). Se concluye que la inclusión de más de 45 % de garbanzo de desecho en la dieta reduce la proporción de tejido magro e incrementa el adiposo en las canales de corderos Katahdin x Pelibuey en finalización intensiva.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an excellent option for the cuban population's feeding due to its high nutritious and medicinal value. Chickpea has the advantage of being resistant to the drought and it also contributes to improve the soil quality due to the biological nitrogen fixation in association with the Rhizobium bacterias genus. It allows to reduce the chemical fertilizers applications and minimize the emissions of contaminant gases to the atmosphere. With the purpose of to take advantage of these kindness and to substitute imports through the dissemination of the this species fundamentally in the local rural sector, it was introduced from the Institute of Investigations in Dry Areas (ICARDA) in the Arabian Republic of Syria, a high chickpea genetic diversity, of the type «abuli». The existence of this germoplasm, offers the possibility to explore the wide existent genetic variability in these materials, with the purpose of supporting the individual selection of excellent pure lines, adapted to local conditions. The characterization and selection of promising genotypes was based in three statistical analyses: variance analysis (ANOVA), main components analysis (ACP) and cluster. Results showed that significant differences didn't exist among the nurseries neither among the chickpea genotypes that integrate them. The more weight variables in the characterization of the evaluated germoplasm were: days to maturation, days to flowering, branches number, height and yield. Five groups were conformed in based on these variables and one group was selected, integrated by seven promising lines that expressed high yield potential and good agronomic characteristic.

Para estudiar el efecto de la cocción del garbanzo de descarte en la respuesta productiva y rendimiento en canal de la codorniz japonesa en engorde (Coturnix coturnix jponica), se utilizaron 300 animales (1 d de edad y 9.92 ± 0.05 g). La dieta testigo se elaboró con harina de soya y grano de maíz molido. El garbanzo de descarte, crudo y cocido, sustituyó en proporción de 60 % a la harina de soya y al grano de maíz molido. Con garbanzo de descarte crudo, el consumo de alimento fue 77.9 % superior (P < 0.01) con respecto al cocido. Mejoró (P < 0.01) la ganancia de peso (220.10 vs 203.56 y 204.40 g), peso al sacrificio (229.85 vs 212.49 y 214.36 g) y peso de canal (135.77 vs 128.97 y 129.74 g) con respecto a la dieta testigo y a la dieta con garbanzo de descarte cocido, respectivamente. No hubo diferencias entre el garbanzo de descarte crudo y el garbanzo de descarte cocido para la eficiencia alimentaria y el rendimiento de la canal. Se concluye que la inclusión en la dieta de 60 % de garbanzo de descarte crudo con respecto al cocido, mejora la respuesta productiva y el peso de la canal, sin modificar el rendimiento en codorniz japonesa en engorde, por lo que no se recomienda la cocción por ebullición para su utilización en esta categoría animal.

The insecticidal effect of products from Piper aduncum subsp. ossanum (C.DC.) Saralegui (Piperaceae) and zeolite, as an inert material, was determined on Lasioderma serricorne (F.) on chickpea under laboratory conditions. Four treatments (PAO-1, PAO-2, zeolite, and a control), were studied in a completely randomized design with four replications. The chickpeas (100 g) were mixed with the products or zeolite in glass jars. The highest values of mortality and reduction of adult emergence were observed with PAO-2. All the products tested showed a repellent effect against the pest with the best result obtained with PAO-1. No significant differences were found in the germination of chickpea grains in any of the treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study was carried out in areas of the CCSF "José Castellanos" in Santa Cruz del Norte, Mayabeque province whit the purpose of identified the main morphological and agricultural characteristics of six new chickpea lines, recently introduced in our country as basic criteria to take into account in their possible introduction into farmer's production system. The lines were seeded in November 20th of 2009. The crop was attended according to basic orientation established into Agricultural Technical Instructive of chickpea crop in Cuba. As result of this study could be established the most distinctive characteristics of each considered lines. In general, the most notable's characteristics were registered between DI-5 and DI-9 lines and between thesesand the rest. The most distinguish characters of the DI-5 linewere: growing habit semi erect; covert of grain with smoothaspect; high production of pod and grain per plant; small grain and a high yield expressed in grain per plant. The main characteristics of the DI - 5 line were: growing habit semi erect; grain of cream colour and rugs covert; a few number a pod and grain per plant and therefore a poor yield despite of produced grain of a high calibre. On the other hands, the lines rest showed characteristics intermediate with gradual differences between them. With a large growing cycle of harvest was distinguished the D-19 Line (120-130 days). In general the middle values andit range was very similar to dates reported by others researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since new fungicides are scarce in the market and because of environmental problems, researchers are now emphasizing other alternatives, such as the genetic potential of plants, resistance against pathogens, and the use of biotic and abiotic agents to develop induced or acquired resistance. We investigated the role of resistance-inducing substances (chemicals and plant extracts) in three chickpea cvs. C-44, Pb-91, and Bittle-98 in field experiments against Ascochyta blight disease. These cultivars were selected on the basis of better yield potential shown in previous experiments. Aqueous solution of salicylic acid (SA) at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mM; acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) at 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 mM; and KOH at 25, 50, and 75 mM were applied, whereas Azadirachta indica A. Juss., Datura metel L., and Allium sativum L. plant extracts were applied at 5, 10, and 15%. Disease reduction data was recorded at different intervals from 4 to 14 d after being induced and inoculated with the pathogen. Overall results revealed that significant disease reduction (79.3%) was provided by ASM in the cv. C-44 at 1.2 mM compared with SA, whereas the least significant was KOH. Maximum disease reduction (43.5%) against disease in the plant extracts was observed by applying A. indica leaf extract, but D. metel and A. sativum extracts were not effective. Our findings suggest that enhancing resistance before infecting chickpea plants could be an innovative control method for Ascochyta blight of chickpea. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Heliothis virescens (F.) is the main pest of the chickpea considered in Cuba, and your action constitutes losses in the yields. The present work had as objective to determine the biology of H. virescens in leaves and sheath chickpea. The studied was carried out in the Laboratory of Entomology, of the Center of Agricultural Researches. For the breeding of the insect was used a food was obtained starting from larva coming from the field. When obtaining the settings and to emerge the leaves, dish of Petri of 100 x 15 mm were used, where the larva were placed individually, 20 for each food, which were renewed daily. The change of instar was evaluated by those that they lapsed the leaves feed with the used diets, time duration since larva to adult, the weight of the pupa and the relationship male-female. It was obtained that the leaves of H. virescens feed with fresh leaves of chickpea lapsed for seven to instar, and those feed with fresh fruits by six to instar, the time of duration of the larval instars was of 27.93 days and of 14.5 days respectively, while in the pre-pustule state and pustule did not have differences among them. The larva development to adult was of 40.23 days in the leaves that fed with fresh leaves, what overcame in 15.29 days the development of those feed with fruits and the relationship male: female was of 1.2:1 and of 1:1 respectively.

Use of herbicides to weed control is an available option in irrigated chickpea crop at the region Cienega of Chapala, Jalisco State, Mexico; thus, it is necessary generate technology since information available is very limited. In this work we evaluated the effectiveness of five herbicides: Alachlor, Oxyluorfen, Pendimethalin, Prometryn and Triluralin were evaluated and applied in pre-emergenge to determine their effectiveness in controlling the species of broadleaf weeds Amaranthus sp., Chenopodium spp., Portulaca oleracea, Physalis costomati and Euphorbia heterophylla in kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under irrigation conditions during the seasons 2003-04 and 2004-05. Treatments were tested in a randomized complete block design with four replications, plot size consisted on four rows 5 me long and 76 cm between rows. For each herbicide was calculated the percentage of each weed control. For each weed carried out analysis of variance and statistical test. Results: Statistical differences among herbicides treatments over the weed species were found, both different percentages of control. The most effective herbicides were pendimethalin 3,5 L/ha and triluralin 3,5 L/ha, with percentages of control from 77 to 95. There were not visual effects of toxicity by herbicides over the chickpea crop. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Areas of production at the Livestock Enterprise of Marti in Matanzas province, Cuba were sampled from December 2013 to February 2014 to determine the species of noxious insects associated with the chickpea crop (Cicer arietinum L.). Nine species belonging to three orders and families were found, among which Anticarsia gemmatalis Hubner and Euschistus sp. were reported for the first time for the crop. Helicoverpa zea Hubner showed the highest frequency of occurrence and caused serious damages on pods and grains; thus, it was recognized as the main pest affecting this crop in our province.
