Comparison of Hybridization Techniques in Chickpea.

Four combinations of pollination methods in chickpea were tested in order to evaluate the efficacy of plant growth regulator treatments and emasculation for successful hybridization. The failure or successful generation of confirmed viable hybrids was the only response variable considered. The author made pollinations in two field environments and one greenhouse environment at Minot, ND, in 2014 and 2015. Results indicate that emasculation and hormone treatment do not improve manual hybridization in chickpea
