Abstract
With an increased emphasis on research on the important grain legume crop of chickpea, there is a need for a comprehensive listing of chickpea literature. Bibliographies prepared by the ICAR (I960), Regional Pulse Improvement Project of USDA (1966-1970), and L.J.G. van der Maesen (1972) have been the basic resource works on chickpea; this effort was undertaken to update the available bibliographic works and to provide wider coverage of the world literature
