Abstract
A study was conducted in order to evaluate the behavior of 39 chickpea varieties against the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita Race 2. The results have shown differences in the response in chickpea varieties, and a wide variation in the infection indeces ranging between 23 and 63 %. The varieties and lines L-5ID, L-31, Nacional-24 and Nacional 5HA in semi- controlled conditions showed an infection index below 26 %, though these results must be taken on account in the improvement and the extension of the chickpea in Cuba. The high nematode infection produces a diminish in the yield through a decrease in yield per plant, 100 seed weight, and the number of pods per plant, and an increase the plant height and the vegetative period.
