Synopsis (short abstract) The Chickpea, locally called “Noxut” is an important food legume embedded into numerous Uzbek cuisines. Chickpea is cultivated in all provinces of Uzbekistan on small or large areas. This is considered a secondary food crop in Uzbekistan. There is no nationally organized research and extension work on chickpea cultivation in Uzbekistan. Therefore, information on its cultivation, seed production and rural advisory services are lacking. Being a drought tolerant crop, chickpea is primarily cultivated on rainfed land in Uzbekistan. Chickpea is traditionally planted in early spring, but recent research findings show that cold tolerant chickpea varieties can be planted during autumn. The autumn planted chickpea produces higher yield than spring planted.

    Recent population growth in Uzbekistan necessitates increase in productivity of agricultural crops extensively or intensively. This report shows how the concept of a farmer field school can help to improve the food security of small farmers and to involve uncultivated desert lands in production of food crops.By reading this report, you will find out how two farmer field schools were implemented in research sites located in Durmon and Chuya villages of Uzbekistan. The report explains that the improved wheat variety resulted in 116 to 241 percent higher grain yield than the local variety. The second major outcome specified in this report is that winter chickpea was successfully cultivated in the cold winter desert. Read this report to learn the following important impacts:-Adoption of improved wheat varieties would play an important role in improving food security of the farmers living in the cold winter desert of Uzbekistan.-Food security in the cold winter deserts can be improved by cultivating chickpea on previously uncultivated land and help ease pressure on the limited cultivable land in Uzbekistan.

    Handbook on the integrated crop management of green gram and chickpea for farmer field schools in central dry zone of Myanmar 2022
    Also available in:
    This curriculum briefly outlines Integrated pest management (IPM) for these selected crops, green gram, and chickpea. The general concept of IPM is the same for these crops, although the insect pests, diseases and weeds differ from one crop to another. The name of pests are listed for information, and important messages that are unique to Myanmar's situation is briefed if necessary, rather than giving a detailed account of morphology, biology, ecology and management, which can be readily available in published literature. It aims to improve farmers' knowledge of the pests, including insects, plant diseases, weeds and rodents causing the reduction in the yield of field crops and how to manage the crops to boost crop production without deteriorating environmental resources for sustainable agriculture.
