Determination of Drought Tolerance of Chickpea and Lentil Plants, and Structural Elements of their Varieties

Water retention capability of leaves in chickpea and lentil varieties, temperature of the sowing surface and structural elements of the production have been studied. A direct relationship was found among productivity, the number of beans and the grain number per plant in chickpea varieties. A positive correlation was also observed between productivity and the number of grains per plant in lentil varieties. As a result of the research, varieties relatively tolerant to drought were chosen.
