The number of leaflets per leaf was within 9-11 leaflets for 1 accession (0.99%), 11-13 leaflets for 28 accessions (27.72%), and rest lines over >13 leaflets for 72 accessions (71.29%) were observed. Leaflet size was small for 7 accessions (6.93%) were medium for 94 accessions (93.07%). Leaf area was small for 82 accessions (81.19%) where medium for 19 accessions (18.81%) was observed. The flower colour was dark pink for 44 accessions (43.56%), pink for 26 accessions (25.74%), light pink for 26 accessions (25.74%), and white was observed for 5 accessions (4.95%). The number of flowers and pods per peduncle was single pod per peduncle for 99 accessions (98.02%) and twin pods-at least 10% of the peduncles bear two pods were observed for 2 accessions (1.98%). Pod length was medium for 92 accessions (91.09%) and long was observed for 9 accessions (8.91%). Pod dehiscence was <10% dehiscence for all the accessions (100.99%). The seed shape was angular, rams head for 24 accessions (23.76%) and irregularly rounded rest was owl’s head for 76 accessions (75.25%) and pea-shaped, the smooth round was observed for 1 accession (0.99%). Testa texture was rough for 17 accessions (16.83%), smooth for 69 accessions (68.32%) where tuberculated for 15 accessions (14.85%) were observed. Seed colour was brown for 19 accessions (18.81%), light brown for 7 accessions (6.93%), dark brown for 24 accessions (23.76%), reddish-brown for 23 accessions (22.77%), greyish brown for 13 accessions (12.87%), yellow for 6 accessions (5.94%), light yellow for 1 accession (0.99%), yellow-brown for 5 accessions (4.95%), orange-yellow for 2 accessions (1.98%) and orange for 1 accession (0.99%) were observed. The absence/presence of minute black dots was absent for 91 accessions (90.10%) and the rest were present for 10 accessions (9.90%). Biotic stress susceptibility was very low or no visible sign of susceptibility for 72 accessions (71.29%), low for 15 accessions (14.85%), high for 9 accessions (8.91%) and very high for 5 accessions (4.95%). Quantitative characteristics among one hundred one chickpea accessions were observed. Days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering, days to harvest, plant canopy height (cm), plant canopy width (cm), number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, number of seeds per plant, 100-seed weight, and seed yield differed significantly among the entries. The first female flower initiation was noticed in BARI Chickpea 9 (58 days). The number of 34 accessions were matured within 135-138 days and 37 accessions matured within 130-134 days where 31 accessions matured within 124−129 days. Plant canopy height varied from 26.75 cm to 71.00 cm, 8 accessions were long (40.50−71.00 cm) and 70 accessions were medium (30.00−38.75 cm) and rest lines were dwarf (26.00−29.50 cm). The number of pods per plant varied from 22.00 to 288.00, among them 12 accessions showed the highest number of pods per plant (201.33−288.00), 46 accessions gave the moderate number of pods per plant (101.00−194.33), and rest accessions produced the lowest number of pods per plant (22.00-99.00). Yield varied 3.78 g to 56.45 g per plant, where BD-6099, BD-6100, BD-6102, BD-6132, BD-6140, BD-6135, BD-6147, BD-6159, BD-6170, BD-6171, BD-6175, BD-6176, BD-6177, BARI chickpea-5, BARI chickpea-9, and BARI chickpea-10 showed high yielding (40.67−56.45 g per plant), 46 accessions were moderate yielding (21.00− 38.29 g per plant) and the rest accessions showed low yielding (3.78−20.83 g per plant). The highest seed yield (56.45 g per plant) was recorded from BD-6159 chickpea accession and the lowest yield (3.78 g per plant) from BD-6039 chickpea accession.
