PLOT SELECTION

Avoid hydromorphic soils: crop sensitive to excess water and root asphyxiation
Avoid acidic and sandy soils
Favour well exposed and drained soils, of clay-limestone type, even superficial.
Disease management: Ascochyta rabiei, leave at least 4 to 5 years before returning to a chickpea plot.
