Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2017-18 at RARS Lam Guntur to study the physiological evaluation of kabuli and desi genotypes of chickpea for drought tolerance under receding soil moisture conditions. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized block design with 12 chickpea genotypes and replicated thrice. The results revealed that significant differences were observed among the chickpea genotypes for drymatter production and partioning in root, stem, leaf, pod, total drymatter, chlorophyll a,b, total chlorophyll, SPAD Chlorophyll meter reading (SCMR), Relative water content (RWC), Chlorophyll stability index, seed yield and yield components. Among the genotypes tested, NBeg 47 recorded higher drymatter production and partitioning in root, stem, leaf, pod, total drymatter, chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, SPAD Chlorophyll meter reading (SCMR), Relative water content (RWC), Chlorophyll stability index, seed yield and yield components followed by NBeg 49, NBeg 399 whereas lower values were recorded in N-119.Maximum seed yield was recorded in NBeg 47 (3250 kg/ha) followed by NBeg 49 (3229 kg/ha) whereas minimum seed yield was recorded in N-119 (2013 kg/ha).
