Ten genotypes of chickpeas viz. CM-1, CM-2, CM-72, CM-88, CM-1918, C-44, K-850, C-727, Thal White and 86135, were compared for their relative drought tolerance in terms of yield and yield components in field experiment. The genotype CM-2 proved superior to other varieties in almost all the characters studied. It produced maximum number of pods per plant (87.20), gave the highest yield per plant (18.97 g), and more elliptic index of leaf (71.81) under stress conditions. Based on these characters this genotype may be advanced further.
