The study looked at different traits in chickpea plants to see which ones were most important for seed yield. They found that traits like number of pods per plant and 100-seed weight had a big direct impact on seed yield. Other traits like plant height and number of seeds per pod affected seed yield indirectly through the number of pods per plant. So, if you want to increase seed yield in chickpeas, focus on traits like number of pods per plant and 100-seed weight.
