Germplasm collection of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) originated from various countriies andecology was evaluated in field trial conditions of Akmola region. The analysis of yield components among germplasm accessionswas carried out according to local standard indicators of productivity. The following genotypes are recommended for yield breeding in Kazakhstan based on the current research: ICC-8515 (Greece); ICC-12947, ICC-1431, ICC-456, ICC-1205, and ICC-5337 (India); ICC-3776, ICC-1083, ICC-13283, ICC-13764, and ICC-13187 (Iran); ICC-15697 (Syria); and ICC-7272 (Algeria). The recommended germplasm accessions were identified asthe most adapted for cultivation in environment of Akmola region and, therefore, they can be used as ainitial genetic resourse for breeding of chickpea varieties with ‘Northern-ecotype’. Hybrid populations were produced in the crossings between International and domestic chickpea germplasms. The offspring segregations in chickpea hybrid populations represent perspective and important genetic resorses for selection of superious genotypes with high yield and tolerance to drought. Finally, the best selected breeding lines are expected to be introduced into domestic chickpea breeding programs in Kazakhstan.
