Abstract
Local Varieties or Ecotypes are the result of the reiterated process, carried out by farmers, of sowing and selecting seeds for sowing, generating most of the diversity in specific types and forms of each crop, for each use and in each region. Part of this diversity is currently preserved in the Germplasm Banks, with IFAPA being responsible for the conservation and management of the Legume Bank, among others. This Bank maintains an important collection of Andalusian chickpea ecotypes that need to be studied in order to promote their use. This is the ultimate goal of the work, the evaluation of the agronomic behavior of a series of chickpea ecotypes of Andalusian origin, in a plot located in the Alto Guadalquivir, an area that produces this legume. In the study, several lines are identified, both commercial ecotypes such as Castellano, Pedrosillano and Blanco Lechoso, with interesting yields, likely to be used commercially.
